4/1/2025
Overall, I had a good experience during high school. I participated in track, volleyball, FCA, Beta club, FCLA, and the science club. I was a very good student. One teacher offered one on one tutoring when I was struggling in a class. The locker rooms were disgusting, they had roaches, and they were run down and old. During my 4 years we had 2 teachers get fired, for having unactable behavior.

Great learning and social environment for students. I feel like some of the teachers do not know what they are doing.
