Tuesday, October 13, 2015

Dutchtown is a wonderful school where students can be pushed to points they never thought they could reach. With many honors, Advanced Placement, dual enrollment, academic, and extra curricular classes, a student at Dutchtown can easily go where they need and or want to go. Most teachers are willing to help and guide students. Most students are kind and come together in a time of need. Dutchtown is just amazing. As a freshman, it was hard to see how great this school is, but now as a sophomore I have matured because of this school and can see its excellence and diversity around every corner. Close Quote
