The things I like about Terrell High School is seeing more classes that can help students prepare for the career later in life. I want to see more school spirit and visit to different colleges.Just not the ones that are close to home and everyone knows about. The things I like about Terrell High School is that the teacher try to help you understand your work. We have an amazing basketball team. I like that some teacher try and prepare us for what college will be like. I like that I am receiving a great education and doing wonderful in school and will be able to go to college and achieve my goal in life. Which are becoming and Registered Nurse and Majoring in Business later down the line.

I liked the friends I made here. Some of the teachers are actual good, while others are not so good. The staff are great. The school needs more pathway opportunities and more clubs. They should also offer community service credit.
