I absolutely loved this school. My niece, nephews & son all attended Heide Trash HS. I can honestly say they really cared about the success of the students. My son was not an easy student (well behaved young man but he just hated school) but they never stopped helping and supporting him . He moved out of town , eventually graduated and has moved back to NC. When we arrived back in NC (Our Home State) the first thing he wanted to do was go visit his old school and say hello to the teachers and staff that had been so supportive of him. It seemed to me they focused more on education and less on politics, social issues and drama . Any school that can pull that off in our current climate definitely earns an A+ in my book. Thank you to all of the staff and educators at this school for helping Zachary succeed and helping me survive his last years in public school lol Thanks for focusing on education. Best of Luck in 2022/2023

I have seen the WECT article and have a grandchild going to this school and has had a difficult time with online courses ( as many other students have)! The teachers at this school have not been helpful and seem to have let these students down. I realize that this new way of teaching has been hard on them but they get paid to do what is best for the students..this you can see in the number of kids FAILING this year!! When my grandchild reached out to the teacher with concerns of her online studies she was e-mailed back with a VERY NASTY response!! This is NOT the right thing to do and I have heard this from others as well!! Dear Teachers, you are paid to HELP these kids, even more so in these trying time...it is what you are paid to do!! If this school is going to continue to throw these kids under the bus, contacting our Congressperson or Senators might need to be an option!!!!
