Overall, my experience at Middletown South was great. I had so much fun during my time there, and built very close relationships with my teachers/coaches. My favorite thing about my time there was the extracurricular activities I was lucky enough to be involved in. Being a part of Middletown South's cross country, winter track, and lacrosse teams was very important to me.
