My name is Aiden Mai. I am attending Bellefontaine High School as a junior during the 2024-2025 school year. The schools staff provides a safe learning environment for me, but others might not think the same. The overall academics are good for a small school.

My first year getting into the college credit plus system was very stressful, for the guidance counselor was not very helpful, but as of now the guidance counselor Paula Shaw is extremely helpful. She has a passion for the students and desires to help them achieve their academic goals. The college credit plus teachers are also very amazing. They are very skilled in what they teach and have an obvious devotion to their students.

The school doesn't do anything about bullying, but as soon as a student holds hands/shows affection to another student they flip out, also the dress code is really restricting, I'm happy that boys can wear skirts, but one kid got dress coded for "showing his thighs" when he was wearing skin colored tights. Also I can kinda get why spiked/chained collars aren't allowed (not even little chains.) Hey, at least the food is decent. My favorite was the spicy chicken sandwich
