Galt High has some electives that are pretty useful to people in the sense that they can prepare themselves for certain careers like diesel technicians and IT technicans.

The best part of going to Galt High is there are special events like football, sometimes there are a few worst parts like the school lunch but there good in some way.

I like a lot of my teachers. All those that I have had treat you with respect and are willing to teach and help you. The environment is nice and the people aren't mean. Most people just keep to themselves which I appreciate. The only thing I would say is that some people have a disrespect for the school and aren't clean. There are also lots of kids who vape and that means the bathrooms close often and it can be annoying.

This school honestly concerns me. The staff will make hundreds of promises and follow up on none of them. The school is unclean to the point where it would look like an exaggerated set piece to some. Students have no say in their own education. Don't get me started on how poorly they handle mentally...
