Having a high school experience in my opinion is a crucial part of growing up and flourishing into an adult. As for me and my experience I would say it was overall a good one. I enjoyed many fun things such as good teacher interactions, fun activities provided to us by staff, and the amazing experience of school sports. My worst part however would have to be taking the ACT, its horribly boring and I don't test well so overall for me it was a bad experience. Things I would like to see change in my High School would just have to be the diversity, it would be nice to see more people of color and other ethnicity join our community.

I liked how laid back the teachers were but were still strict. The cheerleaders I cheered with were so sweet. All the teachers were sweet. I had a problem with getting into college classes as a senior before juniors did along with other seniors. The counselor didn't do her job correctly and I'm glad someone else is In her place

I love that the school is so close knit and that everybody know everyone. But with everyone being so close it cause a lot of drama. If I could change anything about Bigelow High School it would have to be the teachers work ethic. We rarely ever do anything in any of my classes.
