I enjoyed going to Nitro High school. The teacher do care such as the principal Mr Barth or Ms helman.

Nitro High School was a very good learning environment and I would highly recommend it to others. There were many clubs, and you could start one if you didn't see something that interests you. The teachers were good as well as fellow classmates. There really isn't anything I'd like to change.

When I went to Nitro, it was lacking high educational standards. Teachers just wanted to get you through the classes, zero input on college.
