I have mixed emotions with Leeds High School, it hold some of the most important moments of my life while also some of the worst. It's where I developed most of my closest friendships but lost two of the ones closest to me. Leeds High School helped me realize who I was while also providing me an excellent support system and education.

The Leeds school system is one that I will cherish forever. The job they have done with both of my children was amazing. I do wish there were more interest put in music, such as show choir and able to be in jazz bands without marching.
