I would like to see the atmosphere change, Students aren't engaged like they want to be; Craigmont need more activities and ways to get students to be more involved. I would like the smoking and vaping in the bathroom go down, too many students are getting comfortable smoking out the bathroom.

What I like about Craigmont is that many adults in the school setting has helped students prepare for college and help them understand the right and wrong doings when it came to college. What I would like to see change at Craigmont High School would be the readiness and the preparation of many activities. I gave this reason because many of the activities that go at the school are either not known about or announced at the last minute.

This school is terrible. Kids set the garbage cans on fire, pull the fire alarm, have riots, steal from staff, have fights every day. If your child has a little potential don't bring them there. It's horribly set up the teachers smoke with the students. And their are gangs everywhere
