I have been evolved with my school since my Freshman year. I am in FCCLA, FFA, ASB, Leadership and a 3 sport athlete. I play Volleyball, Cheer, and Softball.

I liked how a lot of the staff that taught there, even the janitors, once grew up in Finley. Some of the teachers there were also some of my classmate's parents' teachers when they went to school. It was such a small town that everyone knew each other and their family. This could be good and bad. Since it was so small, rumors would get by fast. School funds for sports and just anything in general weren't the best. We didn't have soccer or tennis. Our uniforms were old and our gym, locker room, and bathrooms were old and ugly. I did hear they got remodeled after I graduated due to a state grant though.

I like the amount of time the teachers spend to help students understand their work. They will often answer any questions students have after school if they don't understand it by the end of the class period. However, I believe that the school way of disciplining students is mostly ineffective as for things like lunch detention it's more like a game.
