The best part of this school is the atmosphere, it really feels like its own community. The worst part is the freshmen treating the school like a playground.

My time at Austin has been fun. I this is only my second and last year at Austin. When I transferred I was welcomed by everyone. In sports you actually feel like a family where everyone has fun together. I live how the teachers actually cared about their students and help guide them. I'm grateful to my teachers who was there for me in a bad time in my life. At Austin I got connected with a poet who help me publish my own works of poetry. Where I got to perform in front of 200 hundred people. This year I got to go with cheer and band to Natchitoches, Louisiana to walk a parade and go to the festival afterwards. It was so beautiful. At Austin I get to experience things I would have never experienced before.
