My best part was knowing other students and teacher. And my worst part was the school lunch it was bad and good.
7/22/2024
My experience at James J. Ferris Highschool was good. I got to to learn a lot about math, science, and reading and other subjects. The best parts of my experience was working with my classmates and finding fun in learning about those subjects and the events that the school holds. The worst about my experience is that I had to take some time off due to my mental health and that I couldn't Participate in all activities.
