I am a senior, currently enrolled at Tombstone High School. Never have I loved school as much as I do here. We may not have the best scores, the greatest teams, or the nicest teachers, but we have something a lot of schools don't...Heart, Tombstone has much more heart than any other high school out there.

I am a teacher at Tombstone High School and chose to send my own child to school here. I am glad to see a couple of students have posted some positive comments. Most classes did get brand new textbooks this year, and many include online tools and access to bring us into the 21st century. Having grass

This district cares about its students - from the superintendent down to the classroom teachers. And the administration sets a tone of 'we're all in it together' for the benefit of the students. The district does struggle financially, as most do, but we have not cut any programs - in fact, we are adding new ones: culinary arts, music, etc. Read less

Tombstone High School overall is a great place to recieve a one on one learning experience because there are not that many students that attend this high school. So far, my three years attending this school have been pretty good! In my opinion this school is in trouble finantially and needs a great

As a student, I do not understand why it is so important to spend so much money on a football field when there is a great need for NEW text books for the students. I also dont understand why so many after school programs are being cut to 'save money' that the school is wasting anyways! To me, better educating students should be more important than trying to water dead grass. NO OFFENSE. Read less

I worry about the financial decisions the school has made. There is not enough staff and some of the coaches abilities seem to be lacking and there is favortism displayed.

Tombstone HS has been a great experience for my entire family. My daughter, Ashlee, has prospered at Tombstone High School.

Tombstone's teachers in general have been great for my child. We have only had one problem class in 4 years (commercial art).

Since the transition between fourth-fifth grade I have not been in the same school for more than a year. I am entering my junior year and as of yet, I have attended four different high schools.

Sports are excellent, but not necessarily by scores. They are fun to participate in and it is unbeknown to me that Tombstone has an only-win uptight attitude. It is a great school to call your own. I deeply hold a disappointment in my parents for making another move three hours away from a school I truly loved for once.-JTM Read less
