My best parts of my time at New Prairie High School mainly involve my friends. But other than that, there are some fun, unique, classes. I've learned a whole lot in my time at this school and I do think it's a very good school at that. So many years with Mr. Lenig really teaches you a lot about physics and a lot about not being on your phone. Sometimes that comes with some bad experiences too.

In my time at this school I could not have asked for a better experience. The engagement of faculty, students, and community is unmatched. This school is a home away from home. The teachers care and take the extra step. I would never imagine sending my children to any other school.

Rampant bullying and a culture of torment for many students. Ignorance and drama and close mindedness abound. It’s like being in the 50s and early 60s
