I am very proud to be part of the Homestead Senior High School family and even prouder to be graduating from here. I have enjoyed every school day to the fullest. Every day is full of learning and experiencing new things. However, it's frustrating how frequently the school bathrooms are out of order.

Sadly, I am a student who is currently enrolled at HSHS. The teachers are highly unprofessional, and the students are practically illiterate! Coming here all the way from upstate New York, I'll have to say that there is a tremendous decline in education here compared to where I'm from. Ever since I'...
