My experience at Falmouth High School is definitely going to be an experience I am going to remember for my lifetime. The best parts were definitely the friends I have made, the activities, the relationships, and all the experiences I got to be apart of is truly what made High school so special. It helped me decide what I want to do with my future. The worst parts were probably the stress I got between my academics and my sports and my social life. It was a lot to juggle and figure out how to do it all. There is not change really I would like to see just to see what the future brings and how much more growth I can have.

so much things could be better but we can't change them so. Administration sucks lol, you can really do what ever you want and all you'll get is a slap on the wrist. there's no real punishment anymore, they try to fix things but they cant change the culture.
