It's a pretty good school. What more can I say. If there's one thing I would change though, it would be the food. The spicy chicken sandwich is good and I always get it, but everything else is mid. Except the papa johns pizza.

With my 4 years of being at this school, it has taught me a lot and I'm able to retain a lot of information from many of my classes that I have taken here. They do well with having college readiness classes, encouraging and engaging with working students who want to get into good colleges. They also help with financial aid when applying for scholarships. The only bad thing is that I wished that had more electives that run along the criminal justice course that besides psychology.

I enjoyed my 4 years at Granite Hills High School. They offered a bunch of AP and honors courses. My teachers were willing to work with me when I needed extra help with topics I didn't understand. The school also offers a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. Granite Hills also prepared me fo...
