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.

The school was pretty good but it had its ups and downs. Every school has their setbacks but I will always represent that Colonel Pride!

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.

The same friend was also yelled at by a teacher until he started crying,...
