My experience at Westgate Highschool has been a roller coaster of emotions. The best parts at attending Westgate high school have been the diversity. this level of diversity has helped me engage with people I've never would have if not attending the school. on the other hand, the worst parts about attending the school is filling the lack of connections with certain teachers. I would like to see more interactions from teachers to students.

How does the t shirt unde...
