At Charleston High School, some of my best experiences have been in marching band with friends. Some of the worst have been with teachers and students who would rather talk and play than to learn.

I would like for the school to be rebuilt. Also they need more resources for the children. It was a good school until they started changing administration and also they need to implement more clubs and a techology center. But overall it is an okay school.
