My experience at Hueytown high school, the past 3 years has been amazing. Freshman year, it was a different environment but now that I'm a junior it's definitely getting better, the faculty and staff make sure all the kids pass and make it to the next grade. The security up there has definitely gotten better, our sro office stays on top and make sure we are doing the right thing 24/7. Overall an amazing experience!!!!!!!
