My first year at Booker T Washington was fairly strange. I rarely knew anyone besides the people who came from Fair Park High with me. Over the years though i made more and more friends and started to enjoy it here. I wish there were more choices in clubs and sports. the selection at the moment is fairly minimal and could be improved. They been gradually adding more clubs sports and i find that to be a great start for BTW's future.

What do I like about my high school? The teachers, and staff are always helpful. They are understandable. They care about all students making sure everyone get the equal support they need. They're goal is to make sure everyone graduates high school, and become successful adults.

I like the AP American History class and the Early College Program. I like the pep rallies and pretty much all of the teachers that I've had. I would like to see the school be slightly less strict and a little nicer towards the students.

She is a treasure. she taught them how to be " critical thinker" as she say, and she actually likes poetry. A good teacher is hard to come by sometimes...

I had little to no faith in this school when I was notified that my children had to attend. This school history was not to my liking at all!!!! Their violent history was very overwhelming for me.

"As a graduate of BTW I can say that going to this institution and succeeding is like being a fish and swimming up stream. To comment on the statement above. I am also a graduate of Booker T. Washington High School (2003) and I believe that this is not the case at all. Your next sentence is exactly...
