I had to transfer to Seneca my sophomore year of high school. I was upset because I didn't want to start over and meet new people but as soon as I came I was welcomed and I loved it. I never felt like I belonged in school until I came to Seneca. Coming to seneca I met Mrs. Hannan, one of the best teachers ever. She pushed me to be the best I can be, spoke life into me, and now she is the reason I want to go to college to be a teacher. I ended up joining the dance team, Educators rising, and even National Honors Society. I truly found my people and I wouldn't choose any other school.

Some students arent there to learn and just to goof off, which is annoying for the students who want to genuinely learn.

Seneca is the reason I'm graduating as a junior because the school is overall just people fighting and skipping or wanting overall drama.The teachers are helpful though and I have came closer to some than others. The worst thing about Seneca is the weed, it has gotten so bad to the point metal detection has entered the school and its the only thing keeping the problem at bay.
