I love the tight knit community that is found in and around Depew High School. Everyone knows everyone here and it feels like a big family. It is a very involved district with a wide range of athletic programs, performance activities, art shows and community events. An amazing school to be a part of.

Due to COVID it has been a challenge to communicate with the school. I am enrolled through a local community college to get the rest of the credits needed for my graduation. The staff have been extremely kind to help work with my transcript that was transferred from the town over when I moved. It is my goal to graduate a year early and apply myself into a 4year college in NY.

Depew High School has helped me a lot to grow as a person. The school really does a great job of involving everyone and encouraging the growth of its students. Overall, there has been a wide variety of extracurriculars and classes that I have been involved in. Participating in these has not only enhanced my high school experience, they also helped me learn about myself.
