Ms. George is single handedly carrying HMS on her back. The school sucks and no one ever hears your side when you get in trouble. All they teach is stuff 1 or 2 years behind. bad school

I would like to see it change by seeing them actually dealing with bullying because a lot of people get bullied and it is not ok the only thing they do is send you the dean the dont really do a lot of stuff the only time they would do something is if their was a fight and I can not deal with it you are a minute late you get a tardy for no odd resson because most of our teachers let us out late so it is not our fault we are late.
