My overall experience, has changed over the years. I was a little old 9th grader afraid of going to the wrong class or getting lost, but I can say I came out of that shell. The worst part of all 4 of my years was 10th but then again was I had to deal with Covid & were many restrictions. The best part was my junior and senior, at that point things got a little better.

The students take the same classes all year long, watch too many movies, and the principal gets paid too much for what he does.
