I've liked in the past couple years that Anacoco High School has started getting more and more clubs for people to take part in, if I was a freshmen coming into High School I would've loved to be a part of all of them. I also love how understanding the teachers and faculty is and the community at the school in general is really helpful and treat you like family.
