Brighton High school is a diverse school where everyone wants to be attending and the Teachers are welcoming and they know what they doing. In addition, I'll never regret because I go to Brighton High. However, things I would like change in Brighton High it's only the bathroom because sometimes students wants to use those bathroom sadly all were closed.
