Very large and extremely diverse high school. Very strong support for sports programs (particularly basketball, volleyball, and football). Significant participation in marching band and vibrant music/theater/arts programs. The occasional fight but rarely anything major. Very active on social media, lots of clubs. Everyone's experience is different but there is something to do/ there are communities for everyone.

Something I would like to see changed in Bolingbrook high school are the art classes. Many of the art classes, while fun to be in, are more about what the teacher(s) wants you to know about instead of the basics and fundamentals. I wish I was taught what I would need to know for art colleges or just a basic foundation and understanding of things like painting or figures etc.
