I like that this year it's more diversity. My senior year I dislike that we are limited to a lot of things that other schools get to do. I also dislike the fact you have to have school fees, where I come from in Mississippi we went to school for free we didn't have to stress ourselves about money how I am now.

My experience at Bolton High was the best and I would do it all over again any day. There is so much diversity at just one school. The academic, music, computer, and art programs are fantastic.

i like that Bolton doesn't discriminate against races and the school has many different cultures and the teachers are amazing. one thing that i would like to see change about the school is the food in the cafeteria.
