The New Brunswick high is lowkey a bit wild, it gets a lot of bad name towards it but in reality the school provides kids with various amount of support and resources. If student engage and think more about their futures they will find the the high school can help with those goal if they speak out.

Most of the teachers care about you and want to see you succeed in school and out side of school. The teachers also care about your mental health. Some teachers even do mental health day for the class and have a good time. These past 4 years have been good and bad due to the pandemic.

As a senior, my school has changed a lot since Freshmen year. Especially winning games and getting into social media fundraisers and raising a decent amount of money for our school. Our school used to be known as the "bad" school but we proved to everyone that we aren't. Our school is the most hardworking and hearted school. Our students may not have a perfect background but we do strive on what we want.

High school is what you make of it and this school gives students many options to excel! In addition to standard academic options, the school offers at least 9 AP/dual credit courses.
