My overall experience with Memorial High School would be a 6/10. I rate my high school a 6 out of 10 because I believe we could make some changes within our school community. The best part of high school was coming everyday to school being able to learn something new and see many of my friends in the hallway. The worst part of high school was the social judgement I would get for being part of the LGBTQ community. I wouldn't mind the judgement I would get because at the end of the day I'm still the person I am and love myself for it. A change I would like to see in the school community is more involvement. My high school offers many clubs and opportunities and I feel that my school does not get involved or take advantage of these opportunities.

My time at my school was good. I had a good experience while at Memorial Highschool. The teachers were helpful and very supportive of their students. The school had a good selection of sports and extracaricculars for students. The teachers would try to prepare us for college in small ways by improving our writing in essays and how to do our research. They even would tell us how to study for our college level tests. There was a good diversity of students of different cultures so most kids didn't feel left out or alone.All in all I had a good experience there.

Throughout my 4 years of high school I've never had a problem with any teachers or others students. The school provides electives that are very helpful for your future for example woodworking class and engineering. One of the things I didn't like about the school was how old the building is compared to others schools around the district. Other than it's a great school.

I graduated in the year 2017. This high school provided all the material to prep for college. The problem was most of the other students only care about their popularity during their high school years. I always loved math and science and Memorial High School offered math and science clubs after scho...

I graduated a senior on 2019, I came from a different country so I started in sophomore year. There's loving and caring staff but if your attitude is to not work hard for the things you want then probably this isn't the school for you. Lots of sports and I never felt scared of the area around. I hav...
