What school district is Cairo High School part of?
I have four children, two boys and two girls, all have graduated from Cairo High school in the years 2006, 2010, 2012, 2016. I am extremely happy that they belong to the Syrupmaker family. Their is a proud tradition of academic excellence that permeates all aspects of the school. My children have either completed college or are currently attending now. Much of their drive and determination to excel in learning came directly from the teachers and administration at Cairo High School. And yes, my sons played sports and are now college graduates, teachers, and coaches. My daughters played in the band and are studying to become Nurses. Thank you Cairo High School for reinforcing the what we taught our children at home: Hard work and study, and faith will carry you successfully through life.

While I graduated from this high school, a few decades ago, I am not proud of the direction that the leadership/administration has taken and looking at the statistics it is obvious to me that teaching the children at this school has taken a back seat to petty targeting of the students by the very adults who are there to mentor, guide and groom these children into young adulthood. Instead, sports has taken over the entire school system and taken priority over everything and everybody. The fact that revenue per student has increased and number of graduating students has decreased speaks volumes. Where is this money going? Not toward teaching and developing the minds and futures of the students unless you are playing football or are one of the chosen athletes by the administration.
