My experience at Fort Payne has been really well, I was welcomed in when I moved this year, all the teachers have really nice and understanding. Though bullying is a crazy here, and I don't like it, I want to see the bullying be changed around here.

The best part of Fort Payne is the variety of options available at the school. Students can study topics ranging from culinary to drones. The school provides numerous opportunities for students to broaden their horizons. Fort Payne's high school is getting old and some of the rooms need to be renovated. The largest item I would like to see change is the technology. I've seen other school with much better technology inside the classrooms.

My experience of my school is good because of how the school is small but kinda big at the same time so its about the normal average, but the teachers and staff are really nice to other students and the clubs that I'm in are really fun to be in there.

I think that principal should be fired! The mayor should be too along with school superintendent for letting them do or how they treated that Boy from Mexico. I cant believe the Governor didn't get involved.Hes probably the same way.I think I will write him and MSNBC to look into what took place her...
