All of the spaces used were up to date and had the latest technology. The library was large and was giving off very comfortable vibes. The classrooms were large and had spaces to charge your electronics. The cafeteria was large and had plenty of room for the students. There were two tournaments going on when I was there and there was enough space that neither tournament bothered the other. I highly recommend HPHS Highland Park High School!

The academic program here is so intense that even though I graduated somewhere around the bottom 1/3 of my class (I blame my ADHD and general teenage boredom), I was so well prepared that college was a total breeze by comparison. I was a student so long ago that I doubt any of the teachers I had are still here, but I found them to be mostly very supportive and of high quality. Some of them took a liking to me and were especially helpful. My suggestion to parents is to try and get your kid involved in other activities here besides just class. If they're not into sports, DHS has all kinds of clubs, youth groups, yearbook, newspaper, etc. Admissions people like seeing this stuff on your college application and it helps a lot with expanding your social circle.

This school is despicable for so many reasons. The last time I had to go inside (I limit it as much…read moreas I can) I was so terribly harassed by the principle (Grabel) and my son's speech therapist (Sarah Barrett) that I thought I'd have to call in a squat team to get me out of there. That morning, I had three things going on all at once: my husband was throwing up every 30mins, the plumbing we share with our townhouse neighbor was backed up, I needed to search our yard for my car keys before the lawn mowers arrived. I had 15 minutes to do everything bc if my keys were in the yard and the mower went over them, I'd have been looking at $500 to replace them (counting the towing fee); if I didn't take care of the plumbing, my neighbor would call our landlord who'd no doubt find a way to stick us with the bill, and the sick hubby. Well as it happens, my husband had an appt with the speech therapist that morning but obviously was unable to make it. District 112 has harassed me so badly in the past that I won't speak to any of them in person, ie an email is just fine! Well it started with Barrett and how I told her that I couldn't stay so she's like "hang on a second." Next thing you know, she's pulled Grabel in to the office. What those two did was inch me closer and closer to the meeting room, no matter how many times I told them that I had several pressing matters and couldn't stay, not even for 5 minutes! I mean, everything going on at home at the moment was costly or could've been costly if I didn't hurry back home and remedy the situations. Well they weren't having it! Finally, it dawned on me how sneaky their "attack" was, like a couple of sly foxes, literally doing everything in their power to get me in to the meeting room before I realized it. Finally, I'd had enough! I was treated like an imbecile who doesn't know how to prioritize my life and, by all means, the appointment was with my husband in the first place (not me) and I HAD TO GET HOME TO FIND MY KEYS BEFORE LAWN SERVICE SHOWED UP, to help my husband when he's hunched over in the bathroom, and TO KEEP THR PLUMBING ISSUE FROM AFFECTING MY NEIGHBORS BATHROOM SINK. To make matters worse, later that evening I received one phone call from Indian Trail around 7pm but I didn't realize that I'd missed that phone call until "someone" associated with Indian Trail called me again at 11pm. SOMEONE FROM INDIAN TRAIL CALLING MY HOME TWICE ON THE VERY SAME DAY OF A CONFRONTATION WITH ONE OF THEM RINGING MY PHONE NEAR MIDNIGHT. It was another horrible experience that seems to be the District 112 MO. That was months ago; fast forward to today and, once again, I feel so alienated from my son when he's there. It's a beautiful sunny warm day so I was walking the dog and wanted to stop by to catch a glance of him at play time. Just to watch for a minute, how he interacts with his friends, to make sure he's playing with someone. I'm on the other side of the metal fence, cell in one hand/dog leash in the other, when one of the playground assistants tells me they don't feel comfortable with me being there. I'm not here to argue the right or wrong of her issue or mine; just saying that it never lets up with this school. We found out last night that my 25 year old will be moving back to Nashville so I'm a little down in the dumps and thought it would brighten my day to see my other son play and have fun for a few while I'm walking the dog. Silly me to think for one second that anything having to do with Indian Trail would be easy & heartwarming

In my opinion, this place runs rampant with sexual violence, patriarchy and cover-ups. The administration would not keep me safe when I was in an abusive relationship with another boy at the school. They instead blamed and punished me and then told my mom they had 'taken care of the issue'. The boy, by the way, was given a slap on the wrist because he was friends with a certain staff member. Apparently knowing the right people will get you out of most anything at LHS, even assault. The sex-ed there when I was a freshman was a JOKE. It was shame-based and muddled with misinformation, we didn't even learn about birth control or condoms. The administration also paid no regard to talking about sexual assault, it wasn't even mentioned at the mandatory pre-prom assembly. Although they did make improvements about addressing mental health my senior year, after many protests by staff and parents. The safety at LHS needs to improve drastically. I did not feel safe my entire 4 years at that school. It took forever for the administration to acknowledge an order of protection I had given to them. I also felt extremely over sexualized by the staff. I would always be leered at by the older security guards for some 'dress code' violation. It was always implied that some horny boy getting distracted by your outfit was more important then you getting an education. The food also sucks and nothing healthy or allergen conscious is ever served. The absence policy is ridiculous, you only get 10 per semester and after that you have to have a doctors note or you're truant. On a positive note, most of the teachers are great and the art department is awesome, although it lacks funding (it all goes to athletics). Also the staff in the Q-Z LST are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. Overall, send your kid somewhere else.
