My experience at Billings Senior High has definitely had its ups and downs. Overall, I have met many amazing people and most of my teachers have been willing to work with me as my schedule gets hectic. There is always so much energy at any assembly and so many resources hung around the school for the students.

So the biggest thing Senior struggles with is definitely student safety. Many students, including myself, haven't felt very safe since I stepped foot in the building, which is why I decided to go to the Career Center full time. That and because it has way more learning opportunities and classes. Senior's staff is another big no-no. You can tell many of them are just in it for the minimum wage.

All of my classes are wonderful at Billings Senior High School. I feel the teachers engage with their students and know the material they are teaching. It has helped me be able to understand and learn the material which made my experience enjoyable and fun. There are a few instances where we get behind in class due to lack of focus from other students but it is not very detrimental to our learning and we catch back up quickly. I would love to see more interactive labs in the science classes. I always enjoyed hands on experiments and it would be great to be able to do and see more of that in class.

All three of our children enjoyed going to Senior and they received good educations. From there they all went on to college. Kudos to the staff at Senior for a job well done. Many thanks.
