The best parts of my experience at Great Bend High School are the clubs, activities and sports. I really enjoy how involved our entire school is within each sport, and how many clubs we have available to many different students. My worst experience would probably be the amount of bullying, it is not a huge issue but it happens everywhere. Our school does take action to try and stop it, but unfortunately it is often unavoidable.

Overall I have had a great time at this high school. We really work at student involvement in classes and they give a lot of chances to prosper and get help whenever needed in subjects. A thing to improve on is the fine art facilities which is not what they need right now and either need to be expanded or redone, but right now it is still decent and usable so it is not so bad. In all this is a great school even with some of its flaws.
