I love being able to go to Griffith High School. It is a very safe and fun environment that i enjoy coming to school. There were not any bad parts about my experience at Griffith High, but there are so many good experiences. I love how all the staff care and look out for the students. The one thing I would change about it is the food portions they give us. There could be more food in some of the meals, but overall it has been fun going to Griffith High.

Administration wasn't great, but many of the teachers really cared a lot. Most teachers want you to succeed.

Some of my teachers are really cool and it helps for me to learn better. Some of my teachers understand the struggles students have in school and they are willing to work with you to help you succeed.

The school has turned around since getting a new principal. He is encouraging the teachers to do better and in turn is having a better student morale. The kids actually want to learn and can be proud of their school.

The so called administration says that they are concerned but they are not, they just blow you a bunch of nonsense and expect you to beli...
