I graduated from Hammond High in 2007, and I miss my school. It's not fair that people say a school is bad or people should send their kids to Gavit or Morton. It's crazy because they are all the same, lol. They are all older schools who all need to be rebuilt. The teachers and staff at Hammond are just

What people need to realize is that you only get out of a school what you put into it. Parents as well. I have friends who went to Bishop Noll and sad to say they wasted their money because we received the same amount of education! There's nothing wrong with Hammond High, the problem lies within the parents and the children who don't care about education! Read less

HHS is an okay school. The teachers are great though. The student body is horrible. They lack school spirit and are unsupporting. There is a never ending anger in HHS. But again the counslers and teachers are top of the line. I believe that we need a new principal though because of the way the students,

I attended Hammond High School and from what I had heard I was not looking forward to going there but the staff and students changed my mind. There is a comment about how the girls dress. Well I blame the parents for not monitoring what their children are wearing you can't talk about how the kids act
... Read more when they aren't receiving any discipline in the home it is not the job of the teachers to teach the students how to act. And some teachers will allow their students to wear inappropriate clothing only because the consequences of that would mean missing class. I attended Hammond High for only two months and I already missed it. Science was always a hard class for me but the teachers determination to help kids learn is there and they never gave up. Hammond High is wonderful. And I think anybody would enjoy it there. Read less

I am not a parent, but I am a former student of Hammond High School. I am with the class of 2000. Hammond High has its share of problems as with any other school. I believe that if the school get some new young teachers who are eager to teach and can get the students involved. I believe that the school
