Crete-Monee is a high school I will never forget. That is where I found my best friend and met some great people. There are a few teachers and counselors who have helped me be where I am today, but the way the school runs is so behind. Where the school decides to put its money is more into athletics than academics.

There's a few fights every months or so. It's not a very strict school compared to other schools. They spend money on new additions and metal detectors but not on the education. Teachers who have Spanish speakers don't have the right resources for them. The education is pretty good they offer a verity the basics and then technology classes, welding, building, and medical education. It's not bad overall.

My experience at Crete is great so far. I like the classes they offer and the college course credit class. I wish they would hire more arts teachers since we only have one, and that means limited spots for art classes. I have to wait my senior to take ceramics and I sign up for that class since sophomore year.
