The best part of my experience with my high school is the idea that they provided a DECA program which focuses on business majors as we go around the U.S. to learn and compete with other individuals with the same interest. It has allowed me to step outside my comfort zone to meet new people and experience real-world scenarios. The worst parts of my experience would be the lack of diversity. I feel like going around the school, there isn't much diversity as sometimes I may feel left out.

I have enjoyed my four years at Harrison High School. Being a member of DECA and being on the golf team all four years, helped to shape me as a student and help prepare me for college. The worst part about high school is the fact that I didn't connect with my peers as well as I could have because I work after school three days a week and on the weekends. The thing I would change if I could, I would like to see more student participate in DECA and all it has to offer.

William Henry Harrison High School has been an enjoyable school to attend. There are plenty of sports and clubs to be involved in and many different classes available to cater to any future plans. The only change I could see that needs to be made is not closing the bathrooms for a month over a small amount of petty vandalism. That was annoying.
