At TF North I feel when you are at that school you are an individual but you are also in like a family. The TF North family is not just composed of students and staff but parents are able to be involved in their child's education. At TF North if you are about to graduate like me then no matter what your next adventure is the TF North family supports you along with your parents they are standing side by side.

My experience at T.F. North has been fun. My best moments are when I talk to my friends and my teachers about school related things. Such as the work we received and how we feel about the school in general. My worst moments is when I see fights that happens around me or when my friends are the ones fighting. I feel that there is nothing to fight for or about. I would like to see more safety precautions since there are a lot of doors in the building.
