I loved the opportunities offered for me to succeed. The teachers were always there to help me in any way possible. The clubs and groups created made you feel included and helped you with your academics. The clubs were always in the community helping people in need and always planning an event to get the school involved. During our homecoming week our student council planned games for each grade to compete against to see who would win. I was apart of FCA at our school and we met every Thursday and had breakfast. We did a devotion and talked about ways we could reach out to the students in our school and share the word of Christ. I love getting to talk to the students at school and get to know them and encourage them any way possible. Even when I face hard obstacles at school I always try to find joy in the situation and put a smile on my face. I don't let people ruin my joy I continue to walk alone and smile and never give up. Never give up and always find a solution to the problem.

As a senior , I have had many up and downs at this school. I must say I can't believe this is the end for high school and to switch to reality! I want say that this high school was the best , but I think the staff and administrators for all they do.

Bruce High School is a great small town school. Athletics have been better in the past than they are now. The education is good to be such a small school, some classes are a little harder to wrap your head around but overall you are pretty well taught. The biggest problem we have I think is the teachers that do not want to be teachers. The ones who just put something in front of you and just expect you to understand it without being taught. In doing this, it makes the teachers job easier and the students job harder.
