My years at Jim Hill High School has been a rollercoaster. These past almost 4 years has been ups and downs with grades, activities, teachers, and students. I've learned a lot though. I am in the International Baccalaureate Program (IB) there and I can say that this program has taught me to be college ready.

I would say the best part about jim hill is the school spirit. No matter what happens jim hill is always confident. The worst thing about jim hill is probably the school building, it sometimes contains rats and insects. I would like to see the school clean.

The best part about attending Jim hill is the family. How everyone comes together for an event like homecoming and can settle the differences and it's fun. The worst part is the environment around the school and some of the teachers energy.
