this has to be one of the worst schools in the area. we are thought of as such, anyway. the coaches go out of their way to be sure we always do everything to lose; the teachers and staff focus on who has a cell phone or a nose ring instead of academics and they police the place like it is a jail. it

I have been at Haltom for 3 years and I have to say that as far as administration goes, it keeps getting worse! I love all the teachers and the students but the principals need a severe reality check. They care more about making you jump through hoops than helping you get an education. So far in the

Well anyway, the teachers are great! Since I was a freshman the fights have decreased rapidly (makes for a boring school life), and there are no racial/ethnic issues at all.

I am so very tired of this school. Some of the teachers don't care wether their students learn or not.

Not much to say. The school is an amazing school, despite many people's opinions. Theatre at Haltom is phenominal. There's nothing better than it. Beauty and the Beast was fantastic. The choirs are amazing, this last year's POPs concert was terrific. And the band is also a great part of Haltom. As

Haltom High School has the best theatre program that I've ever seen. I couldn't dream for a better program for the students to get involved in. Mrs. Norris, Mrs. Dampman, and Mr. Zolidis make Haltom High School what it is.
