My daughter goes to HHS. I really like her teachers so far, they keep in contact with me via email. I try to stay as involved in her education as possible. I do feel like the principal is a bully, and I think he picks favorites. He tries to intimidate the students, and the parents. I'm not sure why

I am a student at Huntsville High School and I feel that the principal can be strict at sometimes but, it is for the students own good.

As an alumni, and a parent of two HHS students, who also works as a substitute teacher, I am hopeful that all who read these reviews will realize that a few people with a self-serving purpose have written the negative remarks. Not only do the teachers (all but a select few old-timers) have the best interest

The principal has been nothing but kind to us. When my daughter was being stalked, he was understanding, protective, knowledgeable, and supportive. The one thing that I've come to disrespect about this school, is this: since becoming a 4A school, Huntsville seems to have given up any hope of winning

As for the rest, why not put a little more of those tax dollars on a qualified coaching staff for 4A schools?

This school is usualy refered to as a prison by not only the students but also by the teachers and parents alike. There are no rewards for good behavior. The price of going to this public school is getting far to high. For parking fees, locker fees, class dues, and to it all off lunch prices have

The high school is excellent and the students who graduate from there tend to be very successful in college. There are a wide variety of activities and sports offered for the students. The best is the HARRT group. They are a community service group trained in 1st aid, outdoor survival skills, and

They show how much a group of well trained, motivated teenagers can do when given a chance. Their sponsor is a special person. The one part of the high school that is not very good has been the shift from a block schedule to a 7 period day. It has been very hard on our students and was not a popular move. The principal is a bully with little concern for either the students or the parents. He needs to go away. Read less

Great school, terrible principal. Not sure why they can't do something better, the school has a great deal to offer students. It did switch to a 7 period day instead of block and that was a disaster. I must agree with those who have written about the HARRT program. Very impressive group, but
