It was a really fun school and I'm happy I attended it for all 4 years and graduated from there. The best experiences were the friends I made there, the teachers, and the school culture. The school had a great sense of community and it felt like one big family there at New Tech. The worst parts of my experiences there consisted of the work sometimes and other students ruining things for the rest of us. Overall though it was a great school and I wouldn't have gone anywhere else even if I was given the choice.

The best experiences I've had at school has been the ability to have all questions you may have being answered. The worst experienced I've had is when teachers are confused when certain activities are going on and creating confusion around the school to know whether we have to do something. I would like to see change is a concrete schedule system being that one year having 1 hour to finish projects or school work being moved from the middle of the school day to the morning. This created situations where as a Junior I had nothing to do and being told to finish school work when I can't do nothing but wait until after school.

I really did like this school, academically more preparation for tests such as ACT could have been given to the students. On-campus a lot of students will have the opportunity to participate in a lot of amazing projects. There is always so much school spirit on campus, it is a very open campus that makes everyone feel very welcomed.
