It's been the best part of my life learning and growing in high school and playing football. Also getting to meet new people and get to go to 2 different schools while in high school .

Most times I had to deal with racism, the smell of weed, as well as poor administration. I was actively involved in FFA but there was little to now support or funding for FFA nor other CTAEs. Often, FFA fundraising got shut down to instead advocate for the football team and the football team was completely funded. Great theatre program and teachers seem to care but cant do much for students because of the lack of resources at their disposal.

The food is terrible, we dont get spoons at lunch and the "fresh" food has ob...
