My experience has been ok. There's been a lot of ups and downs. But, I love my warhorse family. Between the different activities that we do. And different clubs. And the oven that we share with one another. I've just been very humbled being here. And one thing that this school has taught me was you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

I enjoyed going to this school. Some students make it a worse place but that can be for every school. Administration and staff attempt to provide the students with everything they need. School spirit is amazing and the school events are fun.

My high school experience didn't start off the best.My freshman year I was virtual due to COVID 19 so when I came in my sophomore year I barely knew my way around the entire school but I adjusted just fine throughout that year.My junior year was definitely something crazy.We had constant bomb threats every single week.I was so tired of having them but they eventually stopped.Then I made it to my senior year of high school which was very bittersweet.I made some freshman friends which were awesome but I was sad that I would eventually end up leaving them behind while I go off the college but I had fun while in school with them but I will definitely miss them a lot.
