Horace Furness High School is such a great school for me personally because I am 20 years old. This school provides a good education system as well as a big chance for those who are above 20 years old. From my experience in this school so far everything has been going well and awesome yet being able to learn new things everyday together with different cultures of friends from different countries. It would be nice if the school could also serves Asian food as well. Thank you
