Some of the teachers will have a lasting impact on my life, on the other hand some of the administrators will have a lasting bad impression. I have a good community of friends and supporters through teachers, but admin has had their ups and downs.

The worst part of my experience here would probably be the bathrooms, as I feel they are always having problems. None of the bathrooms have mirrors which is odd, sometimes feel unsafe in the bathrooms, and sometimes they bathrooms smell like weed. Other than the bathrooms the rest of my experience was good.

I had a wonderful experience at GHS, but I would like to see more money put into other clubs, not just the "popular" ones.
