I spent four years at Hamilton High School. Some of the best parts of my experience were the English program. Mrs. Carmody specifically was great at preparing me for the AP Lit exam as well as the English and Readings sections of the ACT in her class AP Language and Composition. A horrible part of my experience was the student body. The underclassmen were very destructive constantly destroying bathrooms and other facilities and were constantly a nuisance to faculty as well as other students. The one think I would like to see changed is a switch to the weighted GPA system. The GPA is not weighted at this school so it is balanced unfairly to those who do not take AP classes. All in all though my experience at Hamilton High School was a good one.
