I would like to see some changes in the way teachers teach. The teachers are either too strict, favor certain students, or are too relaxed.

It's a standard American High School, very into football and provides subpar academics. I would like to see more involvement with actually getting students ready for college, they kind of just throw you to the wind, sink or swim style.

I love maiden and wish I would have been a blue devil the 4 years of my life. Transferring from Newton really showed me that maiden was the best fit not only athletic wise but teacher wise to.
