Belton high school has introduced me to some of my best friends. It has also taught me to fight for what I am given. Very little has been handed to me at BHS. I have created any ounce of fulfillment received at BHS. I founded a Fellowship of Christian Athletes club. I joined and improved NHS, STUCO, and our Volleyball team. Overall I know admin is trying their best, our district admin require a lot of things, that show how out of touch they are to the real schooling experience is.

This school unnecessarily violates student rights and interrogates them without warrant. I was approved to create a video by my teacher who assigned a gothic-style essay. A week later, I got in trouble for writing the essay even though the school admitted there was no link what so ever to Belton Hig...

The teachers are okay. They really don't know how to like control there classrooms. They say we're a bad school but it's just the teachers not knowing what to do. I go to the bhs9 and it sucks because we have to walk over when it's cold, rainy, and storming. They wonder why a lot of 9th graders don'...
