The best part of my experience was the community. Teachers didn't just teach; they mentored. Classmates became collaborators and friends. Whether it was staying late for group projects, cheering at games, or pulling off our over-the-top spirit week decorations, there was always a sense of belonging.

Most of all i enjoyed my high school experience especially being involved in programs. I cheered from 10-11th Grade which made my experience 10x better. As far as safety the students were kind of violent especially towards each other we did get a few treats through out the year which made it kind of spectacle but most of all I enjoyed my 3 years at Huffman High.

These numbers are shameful and a community that produces such, should be embarrassed. These numbers are a product of a failing society and a degenerate culture, in the black community.. everyone who is apart of this has failed…
