My experience with John Overton High school has been a rocky road. I have learned a lot through this school, both learning and life lessons. I definitely wouldn't classify this school as a cool and breezy journey towards college, but without attending here, i'm sure i would have been clueless in areas that other schools would have lacked to teach me.
