I love Garrett High School, for the simple fact I walk down the hallways and I think to myself I know these people, I have seen all these people before. At Garrett, you can walk in and be yourself, you walk into open arms. A family school we have been called, because we, the students are on such friendly

From our hard playing football players to our intelligent spell team members, no one is left out here. Garrett High is molding me into the young adult I have wanted so badly to become. Here, they prepare you for what will be expected later on in life. This high school is honestly the best I have ever heard of. Read less

This school is really small and has the tendency to blow things way out of proportion. I like larger schools, the people are friendly and the staff dosent get into your personal business like its their job to know about your personal life history and problems. Teachers are teachers, not a richeous judgement

Our administrators are open to parent and student involement, as well as community involement. We are a Character Counts! school and that is the next best thing to posting the 10 commandments. Our oldest son is in college and our second son is looking forward to studying elementary education. We hope that he will someday be an G-K-B educator. Alternative school is not a adjective for better, it is sometimes the alternative to incarceration. Communities make better schools. Read less

Garrett is one of the best schools I have ever seen. Smaller classes give you more one on one time with teachers and therefor more help. Everyone gets along and people don't get singled out. Not to mention the athletic programs are outstanding, I would recommend Garrett School's to anyone.
