I've been a student at Ludington High School for a little over 2 years, and I have to say that I've thoroughly enjoyed every minute in exciting classes, fun extracurriculars, and clubs. The teachers are well connected with young minds and display their care and compassion for their subject and students.

The best part about Ludington High School was being able to have "free" hours or time where we could take classes at the college near us to get off campus. The worst part about Ludington High School was some of the teachers didn't really do their job of teaching. I would like to see more teacher involvement and instruction in the classrooms.
