The best part of high school was making lifelong friends and discovering my passions through extracurriculars. I loved participating in clubs and sports, which gave me a sense of belonging. The worst part was the pressure to excel academically, which often felt overwhelming. Balancing grades, social life, and personal growth was challenging at times.

Nemaha Central is a great highschool. We are a little smaller than most schools and our facilities arent the best right now. Nemaha Central is in the middle of remodeling nearly half their school and so far it looks great. There is still a lot that needs changes that is planned to happen and some things that need to happen yet. For starters, the gym is getting a little old and we could have used an upgrade. our football facility is great and so is our baseball facilities. The stage could be redone however and we could definitely use more parking space. The tech building is planned to undergo some major changes and we could use them. The tech building is going to get a lot of new equipment and will be much better next year. Im just sad that I wont get to see/ use it.
