    Leon High School is a diverse environment that can take you far. Every teacher I’ve had has touched my life and if you need extra help there are many ways to get help in academics. You can open your own clubs, and participate in many others including honor societies. I love everything about Leon High School, being alumni from there will also make all the difference. The grand ole school on the Hill has a lot of history and character. Leon puts on many events including rocktoberfest, fight cancer week, positively post it , and so much more! The school radiates positivity and excellence.

    I can speak for Chiles High School specifically, but all of Leon County Schools are amazing. The classes, students, athletics, teachers, and atmosphere are very conducive to learning and bettering ourselves. Chiles High School (only because I attend this specific school) has a great class selection and staff to match them. Two thumbs up!
    I would love to see more parents involved with student activities. I feel like if more parents were involved with their child's extracurricular activities it would become an even better experience for them. I would also love to see teachers become better at showing students that they're here to see them succeed and form a better understanding with their students. Overall, I love how principles show their school spirit by doing special activities like pep rally's for special events.
