Going to Hernando was amazing. It was the true high school experience. Every teacher I had made an impact and helped me towards my goals.

There is little to no diversity and not enough activities aimed at minority students. The academics are decent and pretty good course selections, although it would be nice to see more critical thinking classes, as far as history and such.
