They need to actively tell students about certain clubs. A few have disappeared because people didn't find out about them. The teachers keep leaving and new, 1st time teachers replace them. Last year, there were equal new teachers to old ones.

It has been challenging trying to accomodate their standards and be the best I can be. However, this school does offer many things including AP, but there are some AP classes I wish they had.

Newberry Highschool strives to help every student succeed. Throughout my time at NHS, I've had plenty of resources and support. The school is small and close knit. The teachers and coaches there are determined to help their students perform to their highest potential. The only problem I've had was the heating and air conditioning in the school. Other than that, It's an amazing learning environment.
