Most teachers really only cared about the game being played that day, or who won the night before. I got downgraded for "only caring about my education'' by the football coach.

One thing I liked about Weaver High School was the sports and athletics. One thing I didn't like about Weaver were the lunches or the teachers.

I went to three different schools in the surrounding area and none were as welcoming and "homey" as Weaver High School. The school is so culturally diverse its hard not to find your place to fit in. The staff and authority are like a family to me. With the mix of professionalism and friendliness. Weaver gives great opportunities to those struggling and those trying to excel. It was place I wanted to go and not avoid.

Students are afraid to tell their authoritive figures because they don’t seem welcoming or they don’t understand. Last...
