I have gone to Forreston High School for 7 years now. As I enter my last here at Forreston I can now reflect on my time here. When I entered as a 6th grader I was definitely intimidated by the upperclassmen. As I became older, I realized that I didn't need to feel that. We have a small school lead by amazing teachers and administrators. I have always felt my teachers were very qualified for their jobs and they always made me feel involved in class. I'm glad to call Forreston High School my school and it has shaped me into the scholar I am today.

The best part of High School for me was going to state and placing third with my softball team. The worst part was definitely the Covid times. I would like to see everyone get along more no matter the grade and have fun during school hours.

The staff made the experience at Forreston just that much more. You got to have a relationship with your teachers one-on-one.
