Castor High School just like any other school has its good and bad days. I love how we are one big family. We are a small community so everyone is there for everybody. I would rather be at Castor than go to a big school where no one knows anyone. We have had some tragedies but those have just made us closer. If I had to change one thing I would change how many rules we have. Yes, rules are set to protect the students but some rules we have are just ridiculous. They are not strict on things they should be strict on and they are strict on things they shouldn't be strict on. Overall Castor is a great school and I plan on sending my kids here.
