I have really enjoyed my high school experience. The teachers and administration made it so engaging and interesting to actually learn and be creative. I couldn't have asked for a better school to grow up through and I am proud to be a part of the FHSCCA student body.

My experience at Fitzgerald High School has been a good experience. The teachers are amazing and are really passionate about their students. I have had so many teachers that have made an impact on me due to them actually caring and helping me when I was struggling. One of the best parts of my experience at Fitzgerald High School would definitely have to be the teachers and my counselor. My counselor has really helped me get everything I need to graduate and make sure I succeed during my high school years. Another thing that I thought was the best part of my experience would be being on the Auxiliary team. They really did bring me out of my shell a bit and help learn that trying new things isn't bad after all. I think the worst part of my experience would honestly be how shy I was and not enjoying my high school years. The school really would try and let us have fun but I was the type to not like those things. I would change how welcoming the students and some teachers could be.

To be honest this place, like any other, has its pros and cons. It's disappointing that the courses for different career paths are limited as well as the art pathway being unavailable for now. But besides that most of the teachers bo their best and work hard and there are some interesting things to do if depending on what class you're in. But the food suck bad.
