I liked Tenroc High Schools, students and staff are friendly. They also have great security which mades the students feel safe. One thing I would like to see hange is the school lunch, it's not the worst but it's not the best either.

I really enjoyed the teachers that I got to work with and how supportive and assisting were they made a scary first year in person at school much better. This being I would really work on the staff in the main office as I constantly faced a fear of asking for help due to the way issues I did get assistance with were dealt with.

My experience at Tenoroc Highschool has been educational. There have been ups and down about the entirety of the environmental and strictness of the school. Certain programs i believe should be added to expand the curriculum.

My child has not been the easiest, very respectful but lacking motivation and the teachers and admin have been there with encouragement as well as hard life lessons for him. He is taking school more seriously due to the admin/teacher involvement - they did not let him slip through the cracks.

Horrible principle guidance consulars do not care if a student knows the class they will fail they will just keep the students in the class even if it's for the students interest. All the admin are only there to get paid which none deserve especially the principle.
