My overall experience at Terry high school was good.The teachers made sure I stood everything that they were teaching.I didn't really get into all sports at Terry but I enjoyed going to the games. I like that they have a clinic and all the students get monthly check ups.

Terry High school is a mix of good and not-so-good parts for me. I love hanging out with friends and being part of different clubs, but the workload could be overwhelming at times. If I could change something, I'd probably want to see more support for students' mental health and more diverse classes to explore different interests.
