One thing I would like to see change is that the teachers can interact more with students. I also hope that the students will be more open minded

In my opinion, Owen high school is unlike many schools in North Carolina. The sense of community found there is extremely unique. Some things that I have found need change are helping students prepare and apply for college, having enough staff to support more advanced classes, as well as low diversity.

There are many extracurricular opportunities for students, and...
