I like how all of the teachers and staff are always there when you need them. Although they can be put in difficult situations they are always there and finding ideas to better our school.

My absolute favorite thing about my experience at halstead has to be the teachers staff. Always very friendly and willing to help, and make certain classes that would usually be very boring, much more fun and enjoyable. The sports and school spirit is also something I like.

My high school experience was like what everyone said it would be, it was dramatic and exciting. The classes I took were amazing like all the self-picked classes, but some of the teaching styles were odd and hard to follow. I will be taking mostly college classes the coming year and some of the classes I took prier didn't quite get me ready for the more complex classes. I had to take it upon myself to fill in all the blanks some of my teachers didn't fill to get me ready. But my overall high school experience couldn't have been any better for me.
