As a Colonel of Class 2022, the most I can say is that Fleming provided me with the best memories and friends. In addition to this, the staff and teacher make sure that the students' success and safety are top priority here.

Through the 4 years I've been attending William Fleming High School I can say that it's not the best or the worst school out there. I personally connected with the teachers the most because most teachers I had cared about my education and taught it in a fun interactive way unlike others who just throw a lesson at you and expect you to know what was just tossed at you. I'd like to become the teacher I've had but better.

I experienced some of the best years of my life in William Fleming High school. It is where I made most of my friends that now are like a family. I meet some of the best teachers there that still wanted to have connections with me even after I graduated from high school. They always wanted me to be successful in whatever I wanted to do and would push me to do even harder stuff to become successful. I learned how to manage my time wisely and to think creatively whenever I think about anything. They taught me how to be open minded, and to not just look at some thing from one point of perspective.
