HHS provided my children with a great education, a wonderful environment, and have faculty and staff who love students. Now my grandchildren are receiving that same great experience Hicks High School is known for. The moment you step on campus you feel the positivity and love. Students are motivated to do their best not only in the classroom, but on the stage in musical performances, on the field and on the court. HHS leads Class B schools in percentage of HS graduates also graduating with an associate degree. This school is a wonderful place for students to attend.

This is by far the best school in Vernon. The students are very competitive with each other. My son was bullied last year at another vernon parish school. We pulled him out and homeschooled him because the teacher allowed his saftey to be compromised daily. He had major issues after leaving that school we retained him to allow him to grow. Hicks has built my sons confidence. The staff adores each and every pupil in that school. My son and daughter don't want to move but unfortunately the military is the military. I can't thank hicks enough for all they have done. Best country school I could ask for.

When my 3 kids transferred to Hicks from Rosepine, my third grader was extremely far behind and the teacher set aside special time to help her catch up (at RES, they were still adding/subtracting, but Hicks was already done with multiplication/division & cursive!!!). Hicks is my alma mater and I'm grateful that the QUALITY EDUCATION they offer is still available. There aren't a lot of extracurricular class activities or crafting and having come out of a school that CONSTANTLY was having kids do that kind of junk, I'm so happy about that. If you're wanting a place that concentrates on learning, you've found it. Kids might complain that there are only a few teams to play on after school, but I'm more interested in them having a useful education!
