The diversity at Greater Johnstown High School is so refreshing to see. As a student, I feel like I belong both inside and outside of the classroom. The faculty and staff want the best for all of the students and they push everyone to strive for excellence.

Greater Johnstown High School has given me and plenty of other students countless amounts of opportunities to better themselves and the people around them. Whether it be the cosmotology program or the dual enrollment Pennsylvania Highlands Community College program, this school has assisted so many children in bettering their lives and futures. Additionally, the teachers within the school are what make this school so amazing. If I am ever struggling with something inside or outside of school I know that I will always have a teacher to look after me. Even teachers that I don't have classes with care about me and that truly shows how caring and helpful they are and how amazing they make the school.

Unfortunately this once proud district and school has truly become a cesspool. Violence, bullying, and drug use to pervasive. Gangs run the school, not the administration. Really disappointed to see.
