The district could contribute more towards FFA facilities, they need to pay teachers more to keep the better teachers in the District. More money towards other programs

My overall experience at Rockwall High School has been amazing. My favorite part about it is the community and how safe, and protected I feel at school. The worst part is that it's a really competitive school so, you have to work even harder to stand out. I would like to see more diversity in my school because everyone dresses and looks in the same at my school.
