The best part of my high school experience is definitely the school spirit and culture, ranging from football game days to the large variety of clubs and activities available on campus. One of the not so great things about my experience has to be the social aspect of high school. Considering how the school is pretty small overall, it sometimes becomes difficult to create a large and diverse group of friends.
