I have had a wonderful time at Taft and cannot believe I will be leaving this summer. I love the caring faculty and staff, top-notch facilities, and the friendly atmosphere around campus. They also serve great food in a beautiful dining hall too (I am a picky eater). The school spirit is strong, and you'd have to be here to believe it. College counseling is also excellent here - I just got accepted to one of my reach schools!

A really superb education. Taft students push themselves academically and artistically. Still, it's a very warm community where kids get to know their teachers well and they are genuinely nice to each other and support each other. And the new dining hall is incredible!
