I had a good experience at Harford Tech. It was a magnet school so I was able to get a certification in my respective field. Overall it got the job done.

Overall, I had a good time at Harford Tech. I think out of all the HCPS schools they did do a better job for college readiness due to the programs giving you a head start. But some due to HCPS constantly making budget cuts we lose fantastic teachers and future students will suffer because of it.

I think the best part about my academic career is the community and the connections with people I have made along the way. Overall my academics were filled with plenty of opportunities and ways to interact with resources that will help me succeed in further education. If I had to choose a worst experience while at school I would pick changing the lunch menu to make it more enjoyable for all students.
