With all high schools, there are parts that aren’t as fun; for example, drama with peers and hard projects. However, my teachers were always there to help me educationally and emotionally. Even after I graduated, my high school teachers wanted to be there for me if I needed help. I remember going to my high school English teacher’s classroom after I graduated to work on a World Literature assignment. Since I have left, I have seen lots of improvements with resources, but I know there is still room to improve. I would love to see students having a little more fun while getting their education because I know learning can be fun.

The life that I’ve been for these past four years in highschool at this school was not in the least fun. This school teaches you who will still not be the same after highschool.

The staff, parents, and students are so involved and supportive. Even though this is a small town school there is BIG support.. Sports, academics, etc. We have recently had a lot of school building upgrades and it makes the school very welcoming and modern. I think the future there is in good hands and I would no change one thing about my experience.
