I loved my high school. i feel as it made me who i am today. a lot of my classmates believe that Voise wasn't good enough, i beg to differ. Voise is what you made out of it. voise were for students who believed in hard work, compassion, and dedication, and i feel if you weren't able to do the challenge voise wasn't for you. our football team was the best part of the school. we never lost a game, and we had outstanding school spirit. i know because i was on the team. the thing i wanted to see change at the school was the security. even though we had a lot of them, they still couldn't stop all the madness that was going on during school hours.

They don't try to explain at the best of they ability. They let some students just pass because they don't want to deal with the student again .
