Covid impacted my high school years. With exception to that, my high school provided a good environment and I was an active students. My teachers share in helping to achieve my goals and they are available to me.

I've been going to Farmington public schools since I started 9th grade. The start of the pandemic, so I didn't really get to experience that "high school life" up until the second half of my junior year, I switched from online to in person learning so I would rate my time her thus far as a good one. Everyone here has been so nice to me although with some struggles in the beginning. In my opinion, I think North Farmington is a great school.

I've had a good time my 4 years at NFHS. Freshman year started out with Covid at-home schooling. The school did a great job of coordinating on-line classes, but I'm really glad to be back in-person. There are a lot of great sports, clubs and organizations that students can participate in. I joined the ski team and am now captain in my senior year.
