One best part of Nordonia High School is the community and the overall support of sports. The other best part is the chances to make up tests although not being able to receive all the credit. Another best part are the art classes which allow one to express their creative side. The worst parts are some of the racial slurs in the student and staff community. Not only that, but the abundance of security at the school made it feel like a prison all because of a few students decisions.

The best experience at Nordonia was being able to have fun with my friends in class while still being able to learn. They make learning fun while keeping seriousness in the classroom. The worst experience is probably the problem with Vaping in the school. They have had to lock down the bathrooms and put detectors around them and install a pass method in the hallways.

I started going to Nordonia Hills High School in 2020. I had my first high school experience here. Of course, at first, I was nervous and afraid of being the "New Girl" in a whole different environment. Although Nordonia disappointed me with the diversity factor being pretty low, they still welcomed me with smiles and open arms and lead me the right way.
