I liked being encouraged to play sports, as well as being encouraged to participate in and enjoy art class because it helps with creativity and these are both activities that help keep kids out of trouble in and out of school. My teachers saw potential in me that I didn't see at the time. I'd like to see a change in how much kids get bullied. Bullying was a big problem at my school and I believe the quality of the conversations and actions between kids were overlooked. We held bullying assemblies often, but it didn't seem to do much. Kids get discouraged being talked about and talked to as if they are less because of who they are. Overall, I don't think I would've cared to go to a different school.

Quality of teachers at my high school is overall good. I feel that they are teaching because they generally care about students and want them to succeed. They are available for help outside of the classroom. Many of the teachers are also coaches so they are involved in the students extra curricular activities as well.
