I cannot say enough positive things about my experience at DeRidder High School (DHS). From the moment I stepped foot on campus, I knew I was in a place that truly cared about my academic and personal growth. The staff at DHS High School went above and beyond to ensure that I was prepared for college, providing me with the resources and support needed to succeed in higher education.Not only did the teachers and counselors at DHS help me navigate the college application process, but they also challenged me to think critically and push myself outside of my comfort zone. Thanks to their dedication and guidance, I felt confident and prepared when it came time to transition to college. One of the most valuable aspects of attending DHS was the incredible network of alumni that I was able to connect with. Through various networking events and mentorship programs, I was able to build relationships with current and past alumni who offered invaluable advice and support as I navigated my post-secondary education and career path. Overall, DHS not only provided me with a top-notch education but also instilled in me a sense of community and support that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I am forever grateful for the amazing staff and network of alumni that made my time at DHS truly unforgettable.

After attending this school I was not prepared at all for college. I would not recommend anyone attending DeRidder High School. I had one teacher literally fall asleep at his desk while many others would just spend the whole day playing on the computer. If you get paid to go to work do your job. There were teachers that would call students slow and stupid, which is last thing any teacher should ever do. I hardly learned anything attending this school. They care more about dress code than academics.
