The best part of my school is homecoming, pep rally's, and football games. The worst part of the school is getting put on lockdown out of no where or losing certain privileges because of people's discipline. Overall, the school is great and home to the BEST marching in the Pee Dee. You mainly have to ask teachers for help because they're are the definition of "closed mouths don't get fed".

There are better options, the highschool is alright but it needs to improve a lot. It's not very clean, there are fights often, and most students do not care about their education. One of the only good parts is the early college program which allows student to graduate both high school and college at the same time.
