Hello all!! I'm a fellow graduate of Denton High School (Class of 2012) and I was a member of the Pride of Bronco Country marching band. There is a lot I must share so I will come right to the point.Some of my best times were spent as a member of the POBC. My best moments were all of the following: The fall football games and the shenanigans us students involved ourselves in; playing in the stands/coliseums; playing on the football fields; playing in rehearsals off of the field at DISD Coliseum; marching rehearsals at the school before and during game days; dress rehearsals; spring concerts; UIL concerts and sightreading; UIL marching contests; travels on the road from Denton home base to wherever we played that week; all the towns we visited in all four years of playing; most especially was all the parents and peers and teachers that made this experience so wholesome. The not-so-great-moments has been the following: Lack of academic support for alumni or graduates (then and now); lack of concern from staff and instructors for alumni or graduates (then and now); lack of any alumni outreach or functions geared toward having members return or unite. This comes from a recent experience made to visit my old instructors at the school. An appointment was needed to see them prior to making the visit (to which I fully cooperated and understood this policy) but once a phone call was placed to both instructors by myself and the staff in the front office, neither instructor picked up my call. Even after having been told to kindly leave the premises (to which I did) and after leaving a message to them, neither instructor called back. As silly as this may sound this was heartbreaking to me for someone with autism, and I do not wish to be a bother. I'm just not very impressed with the level of service and lack of quality of care that was not provided. I'd very much wish that any prior visits to this school be dealt with in a better manner, for me and for all who plan a visit.

do not listen to the people giving it 5 stars, they are staff for the school and are paid to write good reviews

In my experience at this school, the culture has been highly disorganized and toxic. When I started a couple of years ago, the environment was just as concerning as it is today. There is a consistent lack of student accountability, which has already contributed to several staff members losing their jobs or leaving the campus due to ongoing issues and lack of support. The administration has not been receptive to feedback or concerns by staff, and there is a widespread perception that speaking up can lead to retaliation or negative treatment. Communication is often unclear, expectations are inconsistent, and staff morale has been significantly impacted by the environment. These ongoing issues create challenges not only for employees, but also for maintaining a positive and effective learning environment for students.
