My experience at W.S Neal High School has been overall very fun. I've really enjoyed my teachers this year. Specifically, my music teacher and math teacher have been my favorite. They always are ready to lend a hand if I ever need one. However, everything has to have some flaws, which would be the school food. The lunch is government funded which doesn't allow much variety in the food.

Off topic, but does anybody know a number or email address for the school or more specifically the football coach? Strange situation but I live abroad and have found a 1973 Neal championship ring and would like to hunt down who it belongs to. Any help is much appreciated.
