It was a good school but the education could be better. Plenty of teachers that don't really teach but the students are on their phones regardless.

The four years I've been at Ennis High School, it was a great experience even when random fights exploded. The sports are always fun to watch, and even when you're the one who's playing. The teachers always try to help the students, as well as the faculty.

My experiences with ennis have been good and bad. Some teachers i learned more with than others, and the clubs are really inclusive and involved with student life. I personally like the band as i have progressed while being in band. I have become a better person while being in band. AVID has helped me a lot too, especially in my freshman and sophmore year, since the teacher i had was strict, which was exactly what i needed at the time, especially in my sophmore year. Overall, it has been up and down in ennis but i persevered and made it through.
