My overall experience at Turner County High School has been amazing. The teachers are great, staff members are great, and the teachers are amazing. The teachers are always helpful when it comes down to filling out college applications, doing work, and more. I am going to miss Turner County High School when I graduate. Even the students they make everything fun and entertaining.

During the end of the school year, teachers leave either because of budget cuts or they find better options. Throughout this highschool experience many principles have come and go.
