A highlight of North Caroline high school is its sports and clubs. Specifically its track and cross country team during my years. A not favorable moment was an experience with racism. The school and county is predominantly white and republican.

Friendly atmosphere, needs improvement, needs a new school but other than that it is a nice. Small town feel

I, myself, have seen many students have rough relationships with the administration staff. But some good parts are the teaching staff who make up for the administration.

This school is awful. The staff bullies students just as much as the students. The "resource officers" talk about the female students and stare at them. The whole school should be shut down and redone.
