I've enjoyed my overall experience at Alexander Hamilton High. The best parts were the games I played on the varsity soccer team and the worst parts were when they began construction on the field before my senior season began. I would like to see our school have more freedom to use the restroom.

With this school I have not had one good memory to come from it. Out of my 4 years my best year was online in my room. From there I thought it would get better however, that did not happen. Nom i'm just waiting for June to come so I can be done with this school all together.
