Intimidation tactics...student have absolutely no saying. Faculty is always right.

Not at all...kids are on there own...until they stand up for them self...than they get disciplined very harshly

Hunt High School is second to none. The administration, staff, students and parents work harmoniously to insure that every student receives an opportunity to succeed and work at their full potential. Like every other school there are obstacles, but we are overcomers. As a former student (Class of 1980), I seen the success of my former classmates, my sons and their contemporaries. I'm proud to be a WARRIOR!

Long after graduating from Hunt myself, and seeing my daughter make her way through, the teachers and staff at Hunt have always made me feel safe and proud.

Hunt High School is an exceptional school. With great leadership and support (from faculty, staff, and parents), it has provided opportunities for the students to excel to their fullest potential. Not only has the school showed the students how to succeed on their own but how to help others when life throws them curves.

Principal Simmons has returned Hunt HS to the school of choice. The faculty and students are functioning on a high level of enthuisiasm. It is amazing what happens when the leader of anything listens to the people that work for them. Fair treatment goes along way not to mention his passion to see the students succeed

Since these last reviews were sent in things have drastically changed. We have a new principal now and the staff, parent and students absolutely love him. He is respectful and always there to lend a listening ear to anyone who has a problem. He treats everyone as they would want to be treated and people respect him back and love him as a person and an administrator. He is correcting the issues that came about while the last principal was there and things are getting back to the way we as teachers and the students come to know and love in the past.
