I have been at the Ephrata High School all 4 years since freshman year to senior year. All the teachers I have had have always pushed me to my potential and helped me the most they could. Sometimes it gets rough when I do not ask for help but the environment offers many resources for me to be able to get the help I need as long as I look for it.
