Overall adjusting to high school can be very difficult for some people, however I feel Saint Francis High had the proper resources, teachers, and students to help me look forward to class. Throughout high school I was able to be a teachers assistant and help other students first hand. There are plenty of resources for students to be able to prepare for college.

I like that the teachers feel like they care about their students and they want to see them succeed. Many of my teachers helped me get through hard assignments be taking extra time out of their day to teach me. I was also given many opportunities to join clubs and feel welcomed.

A good school, with just enough students or teachers to gain connections and make friends. I do believe it is quite an average school and there are some downsides, but it is a public school, and with what it has to offer, I think it is good. The choirs, bands, theater and all the art programs are ve...
