My personal experience at Doss Highschool has been both good and bad. For my first year there , social wise , everything was great. I met lots of new people and creates loads of new friends. But everything else wise , it's not so great. Especially academically and with the staff members. Some of the teachers are cool most of the time but some aren't so chill.

My worst experiences are with social media threats, have been on full lockdown many times for threats. Stop students pulling fire alarms has been a big issue and smoking in the halls which cause smoke alarms to go off.
