My experience with Beecher High School is the best that it can possibly be, I've been challenged, I've succeed, and I've had hardships. The school has introduced me to lifelong companionships, that have helped me majorly.

The only thing I liked about the school was we had the same friends. What I didn't like was the building are very old and poor conditions, the books are old and falling apart, they can't keep teachers, and it didn't prepare me for college.
