I would like to see the teachers change their attitudes when teaching. This has something that has only gotten worse in the past few years with the immense of teachers leaving and new ones coming in.

Tuscarora has a lot of people who care about you and your success. At the same time, there are adults who ignore real issues around the school such as drugs, sexual assault, and mental health. I believe that Tuscarora should work on taking better initiative when it comes to making their students feel safe and welcome.

My experience at Tuscarora has overall been a typical highschool experience. I love sporting events, spirit weeks, and cheerleading. I have had not the best experience with teachers mostly because some of them aren't very qualified. I would like to see students and teachers who actually want to be where they are.
