The best part of my high school experience was my senior year because I was able to take a variety of electives. Senior year was the first year where I branched out of my core, general education classes and chose to pick classes where I could further explore my interests.

My experience at Lincoln-Way East Highschool has been nothing but the positive. All teachers have you strive to be your best and always try to get us involved. Our school spirit is great when it comes to football games, but I just wish it also translated to other sports. It helps get a students together and bond through our school athletics and celebrate our successes.

In a financial mess and located by sewage station; the stench is unbearable on a windy day., water smells too. The administrators and office staff are laughably self-important, rude. Moving out of area was hands down the best move my family and I ever made.
