It was fun. The teachers and students both created a fairly fun environment. Fairly easy to make at least a couple of friends.

Wendell Phillips is a great historical highschool awesome teacher who want to see you succeed and be the best you can. There help to the kids is amazing
4/13/2022
I think Phillips had great opportunities For upperclassmen students and puts a lot of emphasis for students to get good grades for college. I would hope they have more resources for students to go to college and also have more mental health resources. After the pandemic, I think supporting students needs to become a priority and it wasn't when I went there. But I do feel like I was prepared for college and have done well academically because of my teachers.
