The school need to be more hands on instead of letting the computer teach us. The teachers get frustrated to fast with the students and they just give up . I know for a fact that some students really don't try and I'm not saying they should have to baby them. What I'm saying is the teachers need to not give up on kids so fast and give them a chance . The school also needs more clubs and needs to give more money to the academic clubs . We only have beta club and we have to raise all our own money . All the school cares about is football and we lose most of our games .

I like J.Z. George because it feels like home. I know almost everyone there. Its easy to talk to the teachers because they basically watched me grow up. What I don't like like? Its not really a lot of help with my major, scholarships, and basically life after JZ George.

J.Z. Is a very traditional school and goes by what the past has done . The school is big but doesn't has that much students, only 87 in my senior class.

I just want to say that our school needs to get more involved with the See you at the pole! Olivia, my niece was the only one that showed up this morning! I am Soooo Proud of her. But what does that say about our school. If you want to see a change in the school to the better, do more for God. Pray....
