I was personally glad I was able to get myself involved with many different extra-curriculars. Fairfax High School will have the resources you need as long as you know where to look.

I had a decent time at this school. Some of the teachers were unqualified to be teaching the subject they were teaching. However, I still had some really good teachers as well. It's very hit or miss with this school. The faculty is great for the most part.
