I feel like my experience was pretty good, the music department especially the choir program was my safe space, I met so many amazing musicians and people, my choir teacher has always been there for me, and pushed me to do my best and I'm glad that I've been blessed to meet her, with graduation coming up, I feel not prepared as I know I could be, applying for scholarships and college shouldn't be this stressful and complicated, thankfully I have the sweetest people in my life h loony me before I move into my nest stage of life.

i love how some teachers teach and help us with things when we don't understand. they help us with being ready for college. i don't like how a few of them don't help and get us ready but mostly all of them too. it's a good environment to be around. the teachers, the staff, and the students are amazing.

Chiawana High School would benefit from an increased number of security guards to ensure the safety of its students. However, it is commendable that the teachers are putting in their best efforts to educate the children, and the school's sports programs are highly impressive.
