I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH AND HAVE BEEN SUPPORTED BY GREAT STAFF AND TEACHERS. I CAN TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM ME BEING A STUDENT. ALTHOUGH COVID-19 FORCED US TO DO VIRTUAL ONLINE SCHOOL FOR A YEAR. I STILL WAS ABLE TO LEARN AND ENJOY LAUGHING WITH CLASSMATES. MY FAVORITE CLASS DURING THAT TIME WAS ACTING. I ALSO WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME HOMECOMING KING AND GRADUATE IN 2022 WITH THE MOST CREDITS OF ANY OTHER STUDENT. I WAS ENCOURAGED BY MY COACHES AND TEACHERS TO PUSH MYSELF TO GREATNESS AND NEVER GIVE UP ON MYSLEF. I AM SO THANKFUL TO THEM FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHINE ON AND OFF THE FOOTBALL FIELD. I WILL MISS MY FAVORITE ENGLISH TEACHER MR. DEAN. DURING TWIN DAY, HE BECAME MY BROTHER OR SHOULD I SAY I DRESSED LIKE HIM. I WILL ALSO MISS THE OFFICE STAFF. EVERYDAY I HAD TO MAKE MY WAY IN THERE JUST TO MAKE THE LADIES LAUGH. BEECHROFT GAVE ME JUST WHAT I NEEDED GOOD MEMORIES AND A GOOD EDUCATION.

Overall, Beechcroft to me is like a second family. Everyone knows everyone. It may getca little crazy and out of control at times but thats just how high school is no matter where you go. Im a freshman and already love it there. The teachers are great and the administration is wonderful. Go Cougars...

I have no issues with administration or staff, and there are many students who are wonderful, but the level of absolute ridiculousness that I've seen as well as the degrading way children speak to each other and faculty is mind boggling! I have pulled my children who are or soon will be high school...
