The best part of my high school experience are the sports. The parents are super involved and donate a lot of money whether or not their child is in it. The worst part is probably how the teachers deal with a student's behavior. Since there is a new principal, I am sure that there will be much more changes. Something that I would like to see change is the way that teachers deal with bad behavior.

I loved the experiences I made with friends and watching the games, as well as all of the learning opportunities that came with the fun. I however did not like nor respect the favoritism played throughout the school by all members of the faculty.

There desperately needs to be a change in district administration. This high school gives seniors "free passes" to graduate who did not meet credit requirements, which is very unfair to a student like myself, who worked very hard to meet the graduation requirements and also be valedictorian.
