School Reviews

5   12/8/2022
I''ve taught in high schools and colleges in three different states for over fifty years, and Tekonsha High School is easily the finest institution I''ve ever served. The overwhelming majority of Tekonsha students are generous and kind and respectful and eager to learn and simply do the right thing. Those who occasionally lose self-control will easily and willingly fall back in line with only a slight nudge. The administration and the teaching staff have established a climate in which nearly all students are sensitive to the needs of their peers and recognize their inner worth. Teachers who wish to escape from the pressures and disrespect and power struggles that are rampant at so many schools might want to consider applying for a position here. Students looking for a school where teachers truly care about them might consider transferring. Tekonsha is a very unique place.
