Even though there was metal detectors there needs to be better security guards, I'm not sure if there's better ones now. Besides that John Bowne High School is an amazing school with their academics, I loved the Agriculture program.

John Bowne High School has been an amazing experience overall. The staff and teachers are very nice and tend to each and every student. There are varieties of majors you could choose from. My favorite major that I am also in is Agriculture. The Agriculture program is a huge part of John Bowne Highschool.

I learned so much in this sch...
