It's a public school so I can't ask for much. I do feel like they focused more on football than any other sport. Over the years I would say it has increased showing heritage culture but yet very minimal.

I'm a student at Dickinson Highschool, I'm a senior and about to graduate. I think this school has some fantastic qualities to it, I think all the teachers are really caring, and the majority of students, especially those who are taking more advanced classes are actually into learning more. I'm glad...
