We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Best Part-Increase in parent involvement; counseling department (a few of them) Worst Part- Decline in sports (I think it's related to student enrollment & no real coaching); notifying parents of student struggles (way before the report cards go out); Changes Needed: Improvement in academics; keep parents updated on GPA's, scholarships available all students not just honor students (and not at the last minute); eliminate the "good ole boy system"; really invest in the students future

Throughout high school I had a hard time fitting in with the right crowd. I lost many friendships I thought would last a lifetime, fortunately I still have two of my closest friends. The best thing that's happened in high school is me learning myself more. I know more about who I am now, it sounds crazy. I have learned to care about your grades and that you can do anything you put your mind to. As being a senior, I'm much more different now than I was when I was a freshman.
