The Best Private High Schools in Idaho for 2024 Revealed

When you look back at “the good old days,” what type of high school did you build those memories at? 

We’re the product of a public school education and we were very lucky that our public high school provided a lot of opportunities. In addition to our education in the classroom, the high school that we went to put a large emphasis on the arts. All students were required to take music class from fifth through eighth grade. Whether that was band, orchestra or chorus, many of us continued those programs through high school.

Our high school offered a great industrial arts program, too. Television Broadcasting was part of that department and without that TV class, we may have never had the opportunity to intern at a local radio cluster. That internship is how we ended up doing what we do today.
