This school tries its hardest to enforce its rules to make it better. going into my senior year, I saw a big change in the school, from seeing fights all the time and cyberbullying, and drama, once they brought younder pouches, I feel all of that was less. People started to socialize more, being more open with the world around them, which helped a lot. I think security gets a little too close with the students and starts to favor and forget that they have a job. The school is a little overcrowded and has more people than the building can hold. The teachers are nice, they try their hardest to make everyone feel included, even if they don't want to be.

The worst part was having to fear the fact that we weren't going to be ready for responsibility's, but at least the teachers knew proper professionalism and could properly teach our generation.

The best part is my school strives academically and even with sports. The worst part is they don't have many options when it comes to promoting fine arts that department lacks quite a bit. I would like to see that change so others can expresss themselves more.
