Overall my experience has been good. There is a lot of athletic and academic opportunities for students to get involved in if they take advantage of that.

It was a great experience after coming from a different school with lower level standards and money I've seen more to now how students and teachers connections should be important to have a better environment.

As a Eugene Ashley High School alumni the best part of my experience was cross country and track. Throughout my four years at the school I did cross country and track every year and made many friends and helped create and great community. The worst part of my experience was how the school handled online learning during COVID-19. There were very little resources provided for students to do remote learning and the first semester during the pandemic there was little to no work assigned. As an alumni and having a younger sister at the school I would like to see more resources provided for remote learning .
