I, personally, enjoy my school. Although there are some things I don't always agree with, I like being there. One of the best things about it is the people. I enjoy being around the people who make me feel welcomed. One thing I'd like to see change is the advancement of different sports teams.

Choctaw County has some really good teachers who do well at their jobs, but this school also picks sports over academics. Choctaw County changes things up to much and are never consistent with their goals. The school is more worried about athletes getting offers than other students getting scholarships.

A lot of teachers here are extremely helpful. Although some of the courses are challenging, there are teachers who are willing to help educate their students. I would love for the school to start back having open house so that parents know first hand what their children struggle with.
