I enjoyed my time and i loved most of my teachers. My favorite people there were my mom who is a teacher, Coach Kersey who is an administrator, and Coach Collins who is also an administrator. If not for those three people i am not sure i would be where i am right now as far as graduated early and i truly am thankful for everything they did for me during my high school career.

Camden High is a good school when it comes to academics. What I admire specifically is the emphasis on safety for the students. The aspect of my school that I'd like to change the most is adding more extracurricular activities, specifically for the people that do not already have one and would like one.

It was a good school to get me ready for my experience in college. At times I felt behind because of some of the teachers. Overall most were great but a couple bad ones could create a life long struggle in some areas, like math.
