If I had to change anything it would be the lack of college readiness I was given. Yes we was taught well by great student but by the time I got to college I feel like I knew nothing related to college

I feel as my school supports their students and their needs here at Cherokee High School they make sure that your mental health and well-being is taken care of with the Atmos discretion and I feel as if every conversation I have a teacher is personal and private and I feel comfortable sharing anything with my peers and adults as my school is a safe environment.

A hard working creative learning environment to be in to advance my education.There is sometimes a lack of communication between the students and the staff at the school about certain things that are important.Made for a great senior year so far.
