Joshua High School

It looks like they've corrected the rating system to account for schools that have separate facilities for their 9th grade. Joshua High School is a fantastic school. I'm happy to see that it's rating is accurate now.

I have had 4 children graduate from this school. Teachers care about them being successful. There is success in more than sports here. Great AG program, great band, choir and clubs.

The superintendent is a poor leader (former elementary principal who is a micro manager) and the principals have no backbone. The Athletic Director pretty much runs the entire district, makes more than the superintendent (if that tells you anything) and the good teachers leave after a year or two because of small town politics. Give the new superintendent and new AD another year or two at the helm and we will see the test scores goes down, college preparedness/enrollment figures continue to decrease and continued exodus of good teachers.

The leadership in our school district is very poor at the high school level. Instead of supporting our students, teachers and administrators find ways to discourage our students. I believe that it is time for change in the Joshua School District. If you do not have the disire to inspire our students it is time to find a job in a different field.
