My experience at Payson Highschool was good the teachers and other students there were nice, I played sports and was in the band and it was very fun and exciting the the teachers and coaches made you feel like they wanted you there and helped you anytime you needed it.

Overall I enjoyed my experiences at payson high school. The one thing that I think could have been better was yea her consistency.

That being said I did have some opportunities to work with the people of Payson which was beneficial.
