School Reviews

It was great at first till some current staff showed there true colors. It made me feel ashamed to be a part of a false advertising school of somewhat called choice. In some ways it is, yet the students with a court order to be there is not a choice. Parents who force there kids to be there is not a choice. They say it's your choice, guess what that's not always true. Some staff that's been here since 2014 when I started sadly were not that pleasant to have as a teacher, I hate to say. During my junior year was probably the worst year ever at HBHS. My English teacher was not at her best that year. I went to the principle as well as other students nothing changed to help us have a better understanding with eachother; it was a nightmare. When things weren't getting better, I decided to transfer to ghhs for senior year. I'm excited to start a new year and I hope to have a better experience with teachers. High school isn't all about the education and grades. It's also the relationships and friendships you build with one another during those 4 years. Every student should be able to feel excited, not feel so down when they have to deal with that teacher or staff member that makes their high school experience a living hell.
