Love my community and school would like to see better upgrades to campus. School is older, so renovations would be a huge improvement.

I really enjoyed getting to go to high school at North Myrtle Beach High School. The classes were fun and engaging. I did not start to love North Myrtle Beach, until my senior year. During Senior year, there are a lot of fun events just for seniors.

I attended this school for one year before transferring to the South Carolina Governor's School For the Arts and Humanities (SCGSAH) in Greenville, SC. My overall experience was less than ideal. I met some nice people, but never really felt like I truly fit, and felt judged due to me being overweigh...
