Being at Carencro has taught me the importance of commitment. Being there has helped me experience new things that many my age cannot, and I love that everyone in your graduating class talks a little so that you're not on your own and it's like a big family.

My best part of my experience is taking DE classes which allows me to earn college credit while still in high school, and it helps me prepare myself for college. I wish our school had more DE classes that we could take to help better our skills and readiness for college.

The culture present on Carencro High's campus is unmatched. Our "Exit 4" lifestyle runs through our veins and although we have a bit of trouble, there's always somebody for someone on campus.
