My children now attend the junior high and have had a great first year. The current leadership communicates with parents via phone or email quickly about anything that arises on campus. The school is a lot safer and more academically challenging than other schools in the nearby area and my children
Posted by a parent on 3/13/2020I am an alumnus of Desert High class of 2003. While I agree that there is a severe lack of activities outside of class, it must be acknowledged that the number of students is low. My year was only a graduating class of 89.
