I think that Grafton High School has a great administration that cares about every student equally. I have had a few bad experiences from maintenance issues, but honestly I cannot imagine a better experience with teachers, fellow students, coaches, and others.

Grafton High has amazing staff working amongst their faculty. I would provide more education on college and helping the students prepare and transition into a college setting.

The culture of the school heavily depends on the involvement of the students. Student involvement is at a high right now with many new traditions being started this year. Clubs are constantly planning things to make the school better. However, the concerns of students and teachers could be approached more seriously by administration.
