Beech Grove High School, while a little bit of a mess, was the best school I have been to. Beech Grove gave me the best opportunities and really drove me to what I wanted to do in my life. There are a few really amazing teachers at the school that have made a huge difference in my life. the office workers unfortunately not. The councilors really force you away from the arts which did not make me a fan of them because an art major in high school.

There are multitudes of things that I love about BGHS. I am highly involved throughout the school. In each club and sport that I am involved in I feel fully accepted and I feel like I am in another family because of how accepting and encouraging everyone is. Another thing I enjoy about the high school is how well the teachers work with each individual person when they need help. One thing I wish would change about Beech Grove High School is the food we are provided because it isn't very good and lots of people complain about it.

The school only cares about what benefits them, like for example drug test they drug test students short noticed and saying no results in punishment. As well as them not caring about the weather, it’ll be -1 in the morning while the students have to wait at the bus stop, with no delay or e-learning?...
