I have enjoyed my time at Hempstead High school and feel prepared for college. I am looking forward to my senior year and continuing my dual credit classes so that I am already ahead going into college. I am also hoping to further narrow down my future major options this upcoming school year.

I loved the school and the education that I was provided. The teachers were always so helpful and encouraged me to further my learning, and be involved in and outside of the classroom. They supported me in all of my endeavors and helped me on my path for my future including preparing me for college. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for high school and will definitely cherish all of my memories that I made.
