At Colonial High School, I'm constantly surrounded by people from different ethnic backgrounds and as a minority myself I always appreciated this aspect felt like I fit in. The teachers are very supportive and willing to help when students are in need. Some things they should work on would probably be the administrators since they tend to get into a lot of misunderstandings, however, I can't wait to see the schools improvements.

My best experiences I've had throughout Colonial High School is the celebration of our culture and diversity but also the athletic club sports and the academic pathways that are taught to students with many different interest. My worst experienced that has occured throughout the past four years at Colonial High School is the level of safety. Thier are way to many fights that should not have occured over the years and also the sanitation of the school bathrooms. Besides that Colonial High School in some way is exceptional.
