There are very nice teachers in The Dalles who really care about their students unfortunately our school buildings don't meet the same standards. The Dalles High School doesn't have a parking lot for their students which is extremely frustrating. Our builidings lack adequate heat,air conditioning, and building structure. In summer months the school gets so hot that the high school is required to give out free water by the district and all we have for air conditioning is a big fan in each hall.
