I have been at Thorsby High School since kindergarten. I have a love/hate relationship with my school. I like that it is small because it has always been easy to get around but I wish it was bigger because it would mean more opportunity for other things. I wish we had a soccer team because soccer is one of my passions.

I have been going to Thorsby High School since kindergarten and ever since I have been in high school, it has been amazing. The school(Mr. Clements, the principle) has made the campus great and safe again in these past two years.

Thorsby High School is a small and very invested school. The teachers and administration get to know all the students on a personal level and invest time in them. Thorsby High School maintains close relationships with local churches and businesses in order to continuously provide support to each other. It is a small community with many caring individuals that provide an exemplary example to the students on and off campus. I am so thankful for the time that I have spent at Thorsby High School. The environment and the teachers have helped shape me into the person that I am today.
