Friday, September 16, 2011

David Crockett High School is a great school. They have one of the highest graduation rates in Tennessee. The teachers are always there for the students and the principle always encourage students to do better and have school pride. They have so many extra curricular actives for every student. Weather you like sports, drama, F.I.S.H, etc. Out of the other school in the area it is by far the best, in my opinion. Say like Science Hill they are just jerks, and Daniel Boone students can't even read we they graduate. Just to name a few. But they defiantly show pride in their community and school- Pioneer Pride!
