It by no means is the worse high school ever but in my experience, there is not too much diversity which is something I would have really liked. Also I was not too prepared for what I would have done later in my life from the school until I had a meeting with my counselor and figured out I would like to become an animator later in my years. It is not all bad though I have been able to make friends, learn, and as I said earlier, had it not been for my counselor, I would have never figured out what my future career would be. Thank you and I hope my rant helps!

My experience at Fayette county high school was pretty mixed.There was goods thing at the school which include that some of the teachers really wanted you to pass ad truly care about their students and there many polices on campus to make us feel safe but with that being said there were some teachers that I had my junior year who didn't care if we pass or fail the class and was not open to give use the resources that we need.There was also this phone rule that was ridiculous because I understand they don't want us to use our phones but if we had our phone taken away and we forgot to tell the school we can get detention which is ridiculous.Also since now were suppose to put our phone in the phone pocket like were some elementary students and since it was a new rule were not really in the habit like that and if we forget to put it in we get in trouble for not putting our own phones that we payed for in the pocket.

I have only been at Fayette County High school for three of the four of my High school years.In that time,I can say that the school is a very welcoming environment. Although it has its imperfections like every other school,I cannot say that I didn't enjoy the time I had there.Going to that school has brought me many life long friends and many experiences that I will forever be grateful for.Many of the teachers there have been so supporting and loving to their students.Teachers like my AP Psychology teacher,Broadcasting teacher, and AP Pre-calc teacher have shown that they truly care for and love their students.The school faculty has also been very helpful and hands-on with preparing seniors for college.My time at Fayette County High school is not one that I would ever want to forget because it has made me who I am.
