I have been a student at Andrew Jackson high school for three years now. I am a part of Chorus select, student council, tri-M, and many more events at the school. I am very involved in the arts specifically Chorus , and have competed at Disney World and Dollywood because of the school. I have even traveled around the state for events I have made. I have been so successful because of my school and the environment.

I like the size of the school. Most of the teachers are pretty good. There are a few staff members that can be rude. There are boys and girls sports teams, band, chorus, and clubs. For the most part, AJHS is an average high school.
