My experience at STEAM Legacy High School has been great. I have made many great memories and have received support from my teachers and counselors. I have been at this school for all the four years and I'm leaving this school with a great view. Over the years I got to play in the soccer team and have lots of fun.

I believe that STEAM Legacy High School is the best high school in our community. There are many resources provided to use to help us achieve college readiness. There are also many activities and clubs that have helped my gain new skills. Although I have run into problems with teachers it is an overall great school. I would like to see more teachers who are passionate about their jobs.

My overall experience with the school was very memorable with a lot of ups and downs and opportunities to learn especially from the economics teacher. He gives important and helpful advice for later on in life and you can learn a lot from the things he shows and says. There are decent clubs and a great leadership class that does get involved and tries their best to make everyone feel involved and welcome in the school. I can say I made some good memories here but the only thing I would want there to be is more school spirit and a bigger budget so that the seniors could have multiple activities throughout the year.
