2.0 Senior

My experience is half My senior year was spent on buses riding to an elementary school that was abandoned in another town, and riding to an elementary school in our town for class. our roof that was molding and rusting above me in my highschool was being replaced. The roof construction was going poorly; it caught on fire during construction, and later the school flooded because of people doing poor jobs. I missed out on lots of my education while riding the bus around town.

I would like to see a structured system for our students. Also the lack of accountability is present in the school. It's been hard having no roof on our school due to damage. We have had to move to 3 different places during the day. Like everything I believe this school needs a lot of work.

I enjoy my time at Columbia Falls High School, although I believe some teachers are very well and get us college ready, there are some teachers I feel are not the best for our school and to prep us as a whole. Overall the school is safe and the culture is pretty well.
