Harry D Jacobs High School

This school has some of the most spirited kids that I have seen. The varsity football team is doing really well and the big game was last Friday. Both teams were undefeated. The turn out to root on their school was amazing and the kids were so well behaved and all wearing their brown and gold. The parents are there for their kids. There isn't a lot of trouble and that is because of parent involment. They have done very well on state testing (thanks to their teachers), they have had quite a few 36s on ACTs and have had an average of 22. Over the past few years many students have been awarded scholarships and the graduation rate and kids going on to college has been very high.
