The school had wonderful programs if you took advantage of them. They also had diversity to an extent when I left they started including more diverse events that are specifically targeted to praise minorities but, the awareness only started after a long fight.

The best part of Bunnell is the number of clubs and activities you can be a part of. There are also many wonderful staff members that I feel I was able to connect with and felt cared for. One thing I think would need to change to improve Bunnell is the way we discipline our students and learning to take better disciplinary actions.
