The biggest aspect of being a student at Boyd High School that I enjoyed was the tight knit community within the school. The small scale of the school leads to everyone knowing each other easily. All of the faces in the hall are familiar friends and there is a sense of individuality that comes with that, classes are small as well which means one can get optimal attention from their teachers when struggling with coursework.
