Throughout my current tenure with LCHS, I have seen the majority of good, it provides a variety of classes on your grade level, and a decent size of extra-curricular activities, from sports to clubs. I can't speak for everybody but most of the teacher and staff I have interacted with have been kind and very dedicated to their job.

One of my best experiences at Lee County high school was being able to meet Luke Bryan, Laty Perry and Lionel Richie and being able to see about the set of the show American Idol. I think it was cool to see that you can make it out of a small town. One of the lows was feeling like I wasn't being heard when an incident occurred with a teacher. The administrator was more upset that I was vocal about being upset than what the teacher did to make me upset.

The best part of Lee County High School is the encouraging teachers, but there are still some bad teachers. Currently, my school locks down the vending machines during classes and will only let us use one bathroom during classes, which sucks. My friend is forbidden from using the bathroom during class because the vape detector went off when they were in there one day. They do not vape and passed the pat down, but they still refuse to let my friend use the bathroom during classes.

Look, no school is perfect. No school is without crime, and bullying. No school is without cliques, and moody teachers. All schools have problems. I was born in Lee County, and raised there. I have attended all of the Lee County Schools, and my honest opinion, no matter how many times I complain, is...
