It was an overall average school experience. Not the best thing ever, but no high school is. But in the end, it gave me the tools I needed to graduate. The best part has to be the teachers. The teachers were nothing, but considerate. However, the administration is not the best. Some do not handle situations well, such as LCTI bombing. Anything related to LCTI is super disorganized or totally unnecessary. I would just appreciate more respect, and handling things with more grace.
