I absolutely love Huron High School for all of the good memories with the teachers and my peers. The teachers are great to their students. They always help us out if we are in need and struggling in their class. They also are very supportive if we need it. But we also need to get better food. Some days I can't eat the lunch they provide because of the way it tastes and smells.

Huron is a great place with some great people but I would like to see some coaches of sports advocate for more school wide involvement in both sports and support for said sports.
