The best part about attending Howe High School was its small size, which made it easier to build strong, one-on-one relationships with teachers. However, the downside was that it didn't offer as many opportunities as a larger school might. I'd like to see the school update its dress code policy and become more adaptable to modern times, rather than holding on to outdated practices.

High school has been a very fun experience but there are a few things I would like to change. For example, have students be more active in school sports but due to coaches that makes it difficult.

Although I believe the teachers do care about our education, they do not care about our well being. Students get bullied every single day for being different and they do nothing.. I would love if teachers started paying attention to both sides
