My best experience was involving myself in clubs and activities to do something meaningful. My worst experience was the constant fights that happened pretty often. I would like to see change in the students so fights can stop happening and I would like to see the food change into something better to eat as well.

Star City High School is a good place to learn.But it is not a good place for sports and anything in that nature.What I would like to see change is the racism at star City High School the teachers try to help them just have to work with them.However this is a small city and things gets around.
