Overall Hershey High School was mostly white and lacked in diversity. Though I did have a lot of really fun teachers and had many great experiences it would have been nice to see a teacher and more people around me who I could relate to race-wise.

I recently came to this school and it completely changed my school experience. Everyone was so positive and welcoming to me amd made me feel comfortable when starting at Hershey High School. I suggest this school for everyone, having good education , great teachers and staff.
