Overall I think that there are a lot of staff in our school who try to help when it comes to college and life as a whole. But then there's so many staff and students who just don't really care about the lives of other students and just cause havoc and mayhem for the rest of us which I think should be taken care of. Sadly it is not but thankfully this is my last year there.

This is my first and last year here at Edison and I wouldn't say it's terrible but compared to my previous high school it isn't the best. 1 thing I do like a lot are the teachers there and how enthusiastic they are. They provide workshop classes like electricity or cosmetology where you can earn certificates after taking the class for x amount of years. Their sports teams could be better.

A few things that I liked about my High School experience would be they had really good sports, many trips and most definitely the amount of support that I was receiving from my counselor.
