For the past 3 years at Ballard High-school there definitely has been some ups and downs. There are teachers that work here that you can easily build a connection with , however others you may not. The lunch food here is not great , but it's what I assume our county can afford. The sports are the best part of this school. Our student sections at football games and basketball games are super hype and is what I look forward to each year.

In my time at Ballard, there has never been a moment where I wasn't proud to go here.
