My experience at Tapestry High school was good and bad . The good parts was some of the teachers on how they showed how much they cared for us and our safety inside and outside of school and made sure we were always on top of our work. The bad part was the food sometimes and how school changed so much ever since we had to lock our phones up but other than that it showed us a lot after that to get our work done and create bonds and conversations we never had before.

My overall experience at tapestry was the best high school experience I could ever wish for. I'm not going to lie when I first transfer to tapestry my sophomore year I didn't like it I was a quite kid and didn't have a lot of friends but attending tapestry they helped me get out of my shell and with that I made more friends and my high school experience gotten a lot better. Tapestry also has a lot to after school activities for students like Academic Programs like tracks ,flag football for girls, football for boys, volleyball and softball etc. they also had other programs like art club, chess club, Dungeons and dragons club, etc. Tapestry gives us kids opportunities to become better in life.

I was always the outlier there. Sometime by force other times by choice. I only found safety in several other students. However, I could always rely on the Teachers to be insightful and amiable people. I got along with all of them and they made my experience far better than it would have been without them.
