My experience at Herbert Hoover High School was great. I love seeing friendly faces like the teachers and principals. They have taught me a lot about math and English.

My high school years were the worst years of my life. I was bullied every single day of my high school years since I was I Sophomore. The Faculty did nothing about it. They just preferred to not get involved. The only thing I actually liked about school was the theater class and band. And I barely got through that because I was bullied in those programs as well. The teachers weren't that great although there were some that I liked. One teacher in particular I didn't like took my phone away for trying to take a picture of the notes that were required for the class and I wasn't as fast at writing things down as others were. Overall terrible experience and would never want to go there again.

Hoover has a very good staff that is always willing to go the extra mile for students. All of my teachers are very kind and teach me so much. I am very glad that I get to attend Hoover. After the flood, we got portables and even though it is a strange experience I would not want to change it.
