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

Cherokee County High School has been great to me. I have had the opportunity to co-op through the Career and Technology Center so that I can use my electives to leave school and go to work. However, I feel we need more ACT prep classes. I have struggled with making over a 15 on the ACT although I have a 4.0 GPA and am a dual-enrollment college student. I hope that in the future the school helps prepare students for test anxiety and skills for scoring higher.

I moved to Cherokee in the fifth grade. It was new to me, coming from a big school to a small school. I immediately had to go to high school in the seventh grade, but I wouldn't change a thing, my experience has been unforgettable.
