My years at sto rox have been good and bad. The pros are the teachers. There are teachers at sto rox that give you hope that you can truly make it far in life and being successful. It starts with the teens/kids that put the effort in to gain an education. Now the cons are mainly about the area. The area is very high in vulnerability when it comes to negative factors in life like high crime rates and drug usage. Luckily I was able to stay level headed and focus on my education.

I liked playing sports and being apart of each team that was available. I loved being in honors classes even though it was tough. I loved being in the National Honor Society.

I grew up going to Sto Rox. I thought it was a pretty good school I just wish their was more of a teacher to student connection, i felt as if the teachers just did their job and left and most didn't try and build a connection. Great football team over the years wish all sports teams were more funded and worked on more.
