HCHS is a great school. The teachers are nice and Mr. Stephens is a good principal. I think it would be better if parents would support the school more instead of criticizing and getting mad when their kid acts up. If parents would discipline their kids then we would have less problems when most of the kids are wanting to learn our classwork. But you always have a few that ruin it for everyone.

I think that HCHS is the best school. The teachers are great and Mr. Stephens and Mrs. Towns run things like they should. There is some problems with certain students, but overall think the education we get here is very good.

Houston county high school is a great place to attend. The educational program is exceptionally advanced in my opinion. The AP programs provided will definitely help our students excel in the progression of academic excellence.

HCHS is a great school and has lots of people and great teachers .But the school doesn't prepare us for college and it doesn't have anyone to control the school and people and staffs have certain sports that they care about it seems to me that some not all are races and want things their way, we just need some class to get us prepared for college and the future.
