When I first went to Highland high school it was a good school with great education and food. Now that I'm a senior in highschool the school has gone down in quality.

In my past three years of highschool, I've seen a lot of good and a lot of bad at Highland. I've seen teachers be unfairly fired, I've seen student fights break out in the hallways. I've seen property damage and gotten a very clear image of how highland works, and its not always pretty. I'd really like for the school to stop firing good teachers, and to work on keeping us safe, with the amount of things they let slide, I'm worried someone will get hurt.
