My overall experience at Gaffney High School was a 8/10. The best part I'd say was the schools involvement in sports. Like most schools Football was number 1. But other sports like Basketball, Track & Field, and soccer also received love from the community and media. The worst part of the school was the fact that the higher ups of administration never showed care for their school as a whole. A change I would like to see is a better and more welcoming administration team.

Gaffney High School is a school that mainly focuses on their sports over everything. It is a fun experience to go to the sporting events, but the school lacks in the academic part of things. The academics are not bad, but it could be way better. I would like to see how the teachers and students actions change. The majority of teachers seem like they do not enjoy the things they do. While the students seem to not care about anything that doesn't affect their current outside life.

It is hard starting off, when you lack relationships with teachers, staff, or fellow alumni, but the further along you go the more connected you feel.

If this administration cared about these kids education we would have kids that wanted to be something when they grow up instead of wanna be thug and gang members. They allow principals and...
