Vel Phillips Memorial HIgh School is a place where kids laugh, have fun, and show their interest the best way they can. I believe this High School is a place where everyone always has something to do and it has things from everybody. Sports and clubs are where you find the best communities and also the teacher which each single teacher has a different story, and different way to teach that fits everybody and if not its easy to cooperate with them and you can always discuss many ways to succeed .

Over my past 4 years I have enjoyed Memorial High School greatly. I have met so many new people and made relationships with people I never would have thought I would be friends with. The teachers are very supportive and want what's best for you. My favorite part about highschool were the extracurriculars such as sports, and the relationships I made.

I enjoyed my experience, but there were many safety concerns within the school. The education is good, majority of the students are good, but the food sucks and so do some of the teachers.

Coming from a junior at Memorial, This school is heavily restricted and pure learning-focused. This school treats us like we are five year olds. Only clean music, no free time, and no games unless it says “EDUCATION” in big bold letters and is recommended by at least 500 moms on Facebook. This place...
