Greenwood High has been an awesome experience. I can honestly say I have loved the past four year of high-school. Greenwood High does a great job of getting students involved and allows them to use there creativity in everyday class.

The parent and teachers and all staff are more worried about sports than anything here at Greenwood, as long as you do good sports that is all that seems to matter, I needed help with college and I couldn't get anyone to help me and my parents aren't college graduates so it was really hard for me, so I am going to trade school due to no other options for me.

Overall my experience at Greenwood High School has been a fairly good one. I would have to say some of the best parts about my experience are the extracurriculars, such as the clubs. Also, all of the sporting events.
