Desert Mountain High School is a great school and I would recommend for anyone to go there. They have a wonderful environment and I greatly enjoyed my last 4 years here. All the teachers here are wonderful and genuinely care about the students education. They above and beyond to help the students. There are also plenty of resources here for students to use.

Overall this school is great. They help you in any way they can and offer afterschool help in certain areas. There is a wide variety of electives and fine arts programs. They care about you and your future and have many ways to help.
