My overall experience at St. Johns high school is good. There are some teachers who help you out when you need it. There are also teachers who are there for you as more than teacher but they listen to you when you have a genuine concern.

Overall, I feel as though because my school is 1-A they have resources for students who are very poor. But there is a need for more resources for kids who don't just want to get though highschool, there should be resources for those who want to get through college and farther.

All throughout my four years at this school, each year had a different experience. We had new facilities and new programs that were constantly critiqued to fit the curriculum for the students. I had fun times at the school and I was apart of the student government so I made sure that the school spirit was good.
