The best part of Dearborn High is how diverse it is with the the student and staff. Everyone comes together and helps each other out by supporting one another. I've noticed that not a lot of bullying goes on and when there is people stand up for each other without hesitation in my experience. To be honest there wasn't a time when I had a bad experience.

As a Dearborn High School student I have been exposed to everything the school has to offer. Dearborn high is dear to me in the sense that it is extremely easy to take challenging classes, and to get a head start on your college career. I however dislike peers who don't take advantage of this, those who often commit illicit acts, and bring down other with them. The administration in the building has done little to combat such offenders.

I DID SPORTS IN ORDER TO STAY PHYSICALLY FIT AND BE ABLE TO GET FUTURE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR MY PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS IN DENTAL PROGRAM.
