Some activity's are amazing while other may be poor for example. We have a brand new stadium but the tennis courts have cracks in them.

I loved the community at Borger High School. I feel it has prepared me for the future. The teachers have been so helpful in my growth through the years. I will miss Borger High dearly but because of them I know I will succeed and look forward to coming back and sharing my new experiences with them.
