As a guardian of a student I can tell you that the teachers are Starrs Mill really care about children...especially those who have not had a rosey path. They want everyone to succeed, and they are willing to do anything to accomplish this. It is no wonder that almost all of the students go to college. Everyone has "blanks," and they work hard to fill them in!

As a parent of three students who have attended Starr's Mill High School, I highly recommend it. The quality of the academic program is rigorous as it prepares the students for college. The chorus program is unsurpassed at the high school level. The athletic program is great. The level of parental involvement is impressive. Your children would greatly benefit by attending Starr's Mill High School. My children made great friends as the students are close regardless of their immediate peer group. Best week was always spirit week of homecoming. Great Fun for all of the students!
