Our son attended all four years and graduated from Watkins High School with honors. Our experience was nothing but the best from freshman year to senior. Pataskala is an amazing community and it carries over into the school with the teachers who live in this community and even those who don't. Although a new school is a very high expense for the tax payers, it is a necessary one! We have to put our money back into our community i.e. roads, buildings and schools if we want to keep the community dynamics they way they are now!

do not build a new high school, simply add another building on the high school property and save the tax payers millions of dollars. Please start spending money like it was your own . I would recommend this school if it does not build a whole new high school.

Very good academic program. For a small-town school there is a wide variety of courses, to include AP and college credit courses for seniors. Limited sports program - only the major sports (Basketball, football, soccer, baseball, track, women's volleyball, tennis, golf). Decent band programs.
Parent involvement is encouraged. Facilities are adequate, but nothing fancy.
