“I'm a 2003 F.J. Reitz Grad and I may be partial but Reitz High School is great! I appriciated going to Reitz, I saw it more as a privilege that not everyone gets to be a part of. The band is great! The sports programs and extra curricular activities are well appriciated and commended. Memories of football and basketball games are memories that I will always remember. The teachers have to be the best in the state and really care about their students! I don't really know anyone that says that they hated their experience at Reitz. I consider it an honor to be a Reitz grad and I'm sure your Son/Daughter will feel the same.”

“I'm not a parent but I have strong feelings for my school. I'm about to graduate from Reitz this year. Sometimes I hear people make the comment 'I hate this school' so I ask them if they rather go anywhere else, and the answer is always no. Every transfer that has come into Reitz that I've talked to likes being a Reitz student better. The teacher/student relationships are great for the most part. Every one of my teachers I have somewhat a connection too. The school facilities get better every year. There's just no where else I'd rather go because the quality of Reitz, being a public school and all, is one of the best in the state. Garanteed. Oh by the way, the football program is great.”

“I graduated from Reitz this year and I believe that Reitz is an excellent school for anyone to go to. My sophomore year we introduced blocks scheduling and I am very glad because I am now more prepared for college in the fall! The teachers are also I big part of why I liked going to Reitz. Bottom line, I am happy to say that I graduated from F.J. Reitz High School.”
