I am currently a senior in Dewitt Clinton Highschool , I did all 4 years in the school overall my experience has been very neutral and "teenager like" I started off not really caring about my grades up until junior year where I started to see that things were about to get "real" and I always heard people state that this was the year that mattered the most . I always have had a dream to move away for college and get away from my family and I know In order to accomplish that and to get into a good college I had to academically work hard. The report card really tells a story about yourself you can start off not the best but finish very strong . I personally feel like the School does not really push you as much in the sense of being strict so you really have to care about yourself and being on top of your school work In the end it's all for your future and ready ness for the "Real World" I've also been apart of many fun activities like Cheerleading,Art and Music . Proud to be a Governor

Having graduated from Clinton in 1985 and when this school was all male has made me a fine young man. For those who send their children to this school and decide to hang out instead of learn and take advantage of its faculty should be ashamed. This was an awesome school then and I'm sure it continue...
