It was a blessing to go to Scott county highschool for 4 full years, the students and staff were amazing and wonderful. The sports were an amusement during my time there, won a lot of football and baseball games. The staff were especially pleasant.

My high school experience hm.. where do I start? its a hate and love relationship. the best experiences I would say is being a TA. it takes me back to when I was once in their shoes. taking the same test, listening to the same rules. now I get to be the one to help those kids, help the teachers. be apart of something.

I want to be the reason the world changes in a great way. with the worlds help.

School is way overcrowded. Students get lost in the mix. Some great teachers however the administration is just treading water trying to stay ahead.
