The programming at Comstock High School is competitive with any school in the area and far exceeds most schools of its small-school size. The sports and other extra-curricular offerings are very appropriate and offer a wide array of students opportunities to participate and be competitive. Successes include a nationally competitive JA Titan program, a high functioning Band of Blue that receives high marks regularly, and an auto mechanics program that routinely brings back students who win competitions.

I love this high school. It has a lot to offer: a small school feel with big school opportunities. Close Quote
