She has gone from struggling at Riverdale with a teacher who had no concept of how to teach children with LD to wanting to go to school every day. Small enrollment and a lot of individual attention.

This once widely known and revered school was the stuff that caused competing schools athletes to have nightmares and pregame nervous breakdowns. Just look at the countless placards, trophies, awards, and state championship that are on display outside and inside the Gym. For what ever reasons this school had fallen upon some lean years during the 2000 decade, but now with this new bunch of students, parents and facility Catholic is poised to make a come back. I've seen the Girls basket ball team improve so much over the past four years that I can predict that more glory days are just around the corner. The Soccer program is currently weak but when you look at just the pure desire and downright grit these players have it will not take to long for them to build up a winning program. From the varsity boys team fielding three female players to complete the required eleven, or the veracity and cheering of the team parents to stand and support these athletes win or loose is a true inspiration. Hats off to a wonderful inter city school who has a great future and to all the students who will endeavor to always achieve lofty goals and make Memphis proud.

I'm going to give this school an 8th grade student's perspective of how it looks, as I am an 8th…read moregrader. Once you walk in, you will be greeted by the friendly staff of the school (teachers, janitors, etc.). For the first 3 periods, everything will be fine as you go through the school day. (These are just my teachers, any teacher that does anything bad can be reported.) not much homework, but when it rolls around lunch time, you are required to sit in an assigned seat. My problem comes in at what started it. In the very beginning of this year, you were required to sit at an assigned table. People didn't do that. People still don't do that to this day. Not the best way of solving a problem. Also, I feel like students should be able to roam free and talk to their friends during the only bit of free time they have, instead of being forced to talk to the same people day by day. It makes other students very rebellious. Thankfully, teachers cut us some slack and let us assign our own seats. Now I'm going to give a parent's perspective. I was also a band student. One time, there was an event outside the school, it was during the weekend. Most parents like to relax during the weekend, and spend their time with their children if they work Monday through Friday, but sometimes, if your child is enrolled in band, there will be events on the weekend, and you have to take your child to the event. There is also another thing I want to say. Whenever there is a parent teacher conference, they will give a slip of the time the day or before the day it happens. This gives the parents no time to actually prepare for the conference, which actually happened to ME. That's my thoughts on the school. Not the best from my perspective, but ask someone else and they might say different.

White Station High School is easily the best high school in the Memphis area. I graduated from the…read moreClass of 1999, so I encountered students from the Classes of 1996 through 2002. Here are what I know some alumni are doing from that time period: One class of 1996 alumnus went to Princeton University, where he was president of the student government. One class of 1997 alumnus was the ACC freshman of the year in men's basketball. A class of 1997 alumna became an actress and model in Hollywood, and is engaged to producer and actor Seth Green (of Robot Chicken and Austin Powers fame). One class of 1997 alumnus was the National Spelling Bee champion. One class of 2002 alumnus is one of the two founding members of the band MGMT. Over Labor Day weekend of 2009, I went to my high school reunion. Here is what has happened to some of my colleagues from my class: Two graduated from Harvard Law School, one of whom is joining the Stanford University Law School clinical faculty. One friend completed a PhD in computer science, and is now an assistant professor of computer science at Brown University. One friend did a PhD in computer science, and now works for Disney Animation. (He was in the credits of The Princess and the Frog). A large number of my other friends got PhDs, MDs, JDs and several other degrees. As for my own White Station experience, there is a lot to say. It is the school where I have made my best lifelong friends and molded me more than any other school into making me the person I am today. Even the relatively recent graduates are really smart. Since 2005, I have interviewed tens of high school seniors from Memphis, Berkeley, and the San Francisco area for University of Pennsylvania undergraduate admissions. The smartest kid I ever interviewed was from White Station High School.

I started in Kindergarten with an amazing teacher...and now I'm leaving the sixth grade halfway through the year with an amazing teacher. The teachers here will make you and your kids smile, and though the mastermind behind all of the amazing lunches has retired this year...they still continue to use her recipes to make some of the greatest food ever. This school offers elementary and middle. I'm hoping one day that they might extend it to a high school. Everything about this school will just have you happy. The parents like it and a lot of the students love it. Everyone shares love whom is at this school for it. Coming from a kid who generally does not like school and homework, your child will love this amazing place. it has a Christian community with a class entitled Christian Faith Studies. It also teaches Spanish as well. No other languages at the moment, but their might be some, (French hopefully) that will be extended. i have more love for this school and the people in it than ever. It is awesome. Go Tigers Go!
