Making a lot of new friends, definitely gets you ready for the college life style. made me learn how to time manage, and get my work done. There is a ton of work though like a ton, I always have something to be doing, and I'm always busy. Some teachers really aren't great though, I hear most people struggle with good teachers in the math and physics department. You might have to do a lot of self studying to get good grades on quizzes and tests.

I am a Junior at NCSSM Morganton and absolutely love it! Everyone is welcoming and the environment is very positive. I definitely recommend getting into the clubs and sports in order to have the best experience.

This school needs to upgrade the safety of the buildings. They focus on the physical appearance instead of fixing things from the ground up. The educational experience is excellent though.
