At Lancaster High School, I really enjoyed the teachers. Some of them didn't just hand out grades, they made sure we learned things we could actually use in the real world. I also liked the strong sense of community on campus. The worst part for me was the dress code policy. I think it limits students' creativity and self-expression. I would like to see that change.

Halfway through the year things are great. Students are always made aware of the high expectations that their teachers and parents expect of them. As a former educator myself, I'm very impressed with this. When everyone from the superintendent to the principal, faculty and staff are on the same page...
