My Experience over the past five years has been good. The best part was coming to the Tech Center and doing classes there. I am not sure what my worst experience was in school. The school is now starting to make changes, ex. we are building a podcast for us to describe our everyday life and school life

I think Giles High School is in need of more funding, especially in the art, music, and athletics departments. The only sports at GHS that receive sufficient funding are football, baseball, and men's basketball. Other sports deserve to have the same support and funding.

Giles High School is an overall good school. It has some great teachers who truly care about each student. It has some good STEM opportunities as well as many good clubs. The diversity and facilities are lacking but those are mainly due to the area it is in.

Giles High School is a wonderful place where there are many opportunities. The people are usually very friendly, and the teachers are top-notch. The only reason that this school is not 5 stars in my mind is because I feel that some of the students are not shown everything the school has to offer.
