Conestoga Valley High School is an amazing school that has many oppertunities and activities that many other schools dont. I have gone to school in 4 different districts, and Conestoga Valley definitely offers the best education. All the teachers care so much about the students and are always available for help. The sports are incredible, and every sport you can possibly imagine is offered here. The musical program is award-winning and has a lot to offer, including Concert Choir, Women's Chorus, Jazz Band, Orchestra, Marching Band, and more.
