I have really enjoyed my time at Homestead High School. I have learned so many life skills that I will continue to use throughout the rest of my life. I have had great teachers who have taught their courses well. I have had a great experience being on the girls basketball team and being apart of multiple clubs. Overall, I think Homestead is a good school and it is definitely preparing me well for college this upcoming fall.

At Homestead, I'd like to see the attitudes of staff change towards students. They sometimes disregard the student as a person and see them only as their way of monetary gain. I'd also like to see administration take a look into longtime teachers, as some teachers that I've had have been at Homestead for a while, and oftentimes do not have the greatest record for teaching any content at all; if they teach the content they teach it very poorly.

If your emails happen to be about homework,...

In any problem that any student has run into (personal or school-related) the teachers and administrators do everything in there power to help. In the remodel ideas for the school, students were asked and encouraged for input to make the school better for its students. The homework is work but is we...
