My overall experience at Barron High School was, that I like that we were aloud to have are backpacks in classrooms and I like all the teachers and staff because they were all friendful and every helpful.

My name is Asiah Banks. I am a senior at Barron High School. I have spent all four years at BHS and had a pretty good experience. We have great students and staff. I have always been educationally challenged and pushed to do my best by both students and staff. We have a great athletic department and also great clubs. There are not many things that need to change in my opinion.
