My overall experience in high school was pretty average. I had a lot of drama come my way. I was bullied a lot and nothing was done to stop it. I was and still am gossiped about but I have the right friends to keep me upbeat and happy. Right now the only thing on my mind is graduation. It's approximately a month away and I couldn't be happier. Most people tell me that I'll miss high school once I'm done, but I know for a fact that I will not miss it one bit.

I actually enjoyed going to school. Seeing my friends everyday and passing my classes with ease because of how interesting it was. Cant really think of a bad moment because I got along with everybody. I watched the school grow from my middle school year up to the moment they demolished the old high school and built a new one. I enjoyed the sports I played and the friends I made. The only bad thing I can think of is the lack of quality and quantity of food. There are some days I loved it and some not so much. But cant complain too much because it was free food. I would definitely do it all over again with the same graduating class. I believe our class was one to put in the books because everyone was athletes and everyone had a relationship with each other.

Not very many clubs are available at this school. Mostly just Student Council, the school is rarely small so they wouldn't have very many participants anyway because most of them are in a sport activity. They only sports available here are boys and girls basketball, girls volleyball, football, cross country, track and field, and golf.
