My experience at Shadow Creek Highschool has mainly been a positive experience. The school as very diverse with all types of different cultures to explore. With the growing popularity of the annual cultural extravaganza, I was able to grow as a leader in the Filipino Student association and allow myself to spread and embrace my culture throughout my high school career.
