4.0 Sophomore

My high school experience has been rather good so far, lots of opportunities through the academies for a career path. If you participate in many extracurriculars than they will help your future towards team building and team work.

My experience at Lancaster High was really great. For my high school experience, it was one for the books. The best part was getting a lot of friends. The worst part was that there was a lot of fights happening. There's nothing to change.

5.0 Senior

10/10/2022

Coming from a small catholic school in Lancaster to the much larger high school I was nervous about the transition. When I got to the high school as a freshman I quickly learned that it is an amazing school. I loved the friendly atmosphere and people that created a enjoyable learning environment. By playing sports and participating in clubs I made many life-long friends. The teachers have made connection with students and have taught me many life lessons beyond the classroom. The counselors made applying for college less stressful.
