The culture at Civic Memorial is outstanding. The teachers and staff do an amazing job at making each student feel included and making our school feel like a community. They offer many different college credit classes along with many different programs. There are many different ways for students to get involved. Whether that be with sports or clubs. Each student feels they matter. Our principal goes above and beyond to create a fun work environment. By throwing pep rallies to creating funny videos for our classes.

The best part of my highschool career is my involvement in the Drama club. I love being in the Drama club and being able to preform with all my friends. The worst parts were the math classes, iv always struggled with math and I feel as though they could improve in the math department.

It was scary at first but eventually like many others. I found it quite easy to navigate and easy to get where I need to go. I will admit that my first couple years were still a bit iffy, but I feel like it became like my second home because of how much time I spent there and how much I got to know the place and the teachers that work there some teachers in my opinion are better than others but overall, every teacher is good at their own thing, and I have a lot to offer the students who are coming in.
