As a senior of Borden High school I have been in almost every class and teacher you can have and its been wonderful. The teachers are extremely helpful and want to see every student prosper with knowledge. Most of the people at Borden are extremely close due to the small size. This is mostly good ,but can sometimes make it hard for new people to fit in unless they are playing a sport. While on the topics of sports, every kid is encouraged to try out and attempt sports. The coaches do not care if a kid has never played the sport before or if they know every last bit of knowledge about it, they simply want every kid to enjoy there time on the team and there high school years.

The teachers are friendly, easy to talk to and get along with, but you don't learn a whole lot at Borden. Only two or three teachers actually challenged me, but considering everyone else in the class I guess they have to dumb down a lot of stuff.
