I liked this school for all the opportunities it gave me but they had very strict rules that got very stupid by the day

I liked the different career areas that were offered at Hodgson. The school felt safe and welcoming. Once you choose a career, you stay with that same teacher and class until graduation. It gives you a chance to get to know the teacher well. However, sometimes it feels like you are stuck with the same people for a long time. Dual enrollment at the local community college is a great opportunity to get college credits for free during senior year.

It had its ups and downs, however, It was overall an above average school. I especially like how it was oriented towards what you were interested in becoming once you graduated.
