I like how there are very good teachers. I would like to change the fact that there are not that many electives to choose from.

My high school experience was kind of like anyone else, but a little different I had my laughs and some bad days some worst than others.

My experience at Leake Central High School is appreciable. I describe my experience "appreciable," because, the teachers and staff members are very helpful towards me. Whenever I do not quite understand the subject the teacher is teaching, they will no have no problem with helping me understand. There are no particular changes I would like to see around the school environment .
