I have loved my experience at Bourne high besides a few small things it has been an amazing high school journey so far. I would love it if we could have all the bathrooms open instead of one per gender though as a long line occurs and then no one who actually needs to use the restroom can go.

Bourne High School has made me the person I am today. Bourne high is a very small school that is not only just a school but is truly a community. My graduating class consists of only 85 kids. The teacher to student ratio is absolutely fantastic. Every single teacher and staff member at Bourne is incredibly compassionate and loving towards there students. I have really enjoyed my time at BHS and I truly believed it has shaped me as a student and a person.

Discipline is Lacking. I have seen students mouth off and swear at teachers. Students walk out of class to go to wellness room but never seem to come back to class. There is a weird tension between teachers and administrators.

After graduating from the class of 2016 I could not think of a better school that I could have chosen than Bourne High School.
