I would have liked to see more teachers help prepare students for college. I feel I had no preparation to move forward for scholarships, grants, FAFSA even.

I enjoyed the connections I made with teachers and peers. Throughout my 4 years at Jefferson High School, I learned many lessons including how to motivate myself for the real world, learn who I am as a person, and who I am going to make of myself in the future.

In middle school I went to private schools so I thought it was be hard to make friends when Transferring over the a public school. I did not know how different it would be. When I started freshman year I was so nervous but the staff did an amazing job to make me feel welcome and at home. My peers were also so nice and always helped me out. I never had a problem with the school they are always out to support each and every student. During sports games you always see staff showing up to support even though they are very busy. The school is like a big family we all push each other to do our best.
