Granby High School has many amazing teachers and facilitators, who are often overlooked by the numerous unfavorable teachers. There is limited diversity and often harassment in response to gender, race, religion, etc. which is not often dealt with by administrators.

Granby High School was definitely a experience where as the years goes on, it has improved, even though there are some times that there's unpleasant events, but at the end of the day, Granby holds a part of my life where without Granby, I wouldn't be in the situation where I hold all of my knowledge and passing it through college

Granby High School has many pros and cons to it, but it's based on how you want your school year experience to be. I know for me, it's not as bad as what people explain it to you. I wouldn't say i'm happy to be at that school, but it's enough for me to say that i'm being well educated and knowledgeable to topics that I wasn't sure about before.
