As I come close to graduating Independence High School I've come to love the school. It's a really great environment most of the people are nice, the staff are sweet people and I really have zero to no complaints.
1/24/2025
During my time at this school I experienced multiple teachers being fire for a variety of reasons ranging from working a second job instead of teaching the students to being fired after getting arrested. However, the good teachers, however few there were, were amazing and supportive and really changed my life.

I don't get the part when you call the main office and the lady answers by saying how may I direct your call. Not even a Good morning or Afternoon. AI should replace her.
