I personally feel that this school has teachers who only care about getting a paycheck and there is also students who are trying to recieve an education but its hard when your teacher is putting you down. This school I would say gives me encouragement that there are going to be people that will try to make your life a living hell but in the end all you have to do is overcome and prove these saditty teachers wrong.

There are only a few teachers who care about the students, the majority of the faculty has their own agenda, and the quality of education is sacrificed for the security. The truth is that 90% of the faculty could care less about the students. If it werent for a few quality english and history teachers, this school would be lost.

I think Technology High School is the best. Lot of people do not know about Technology High, but it is one of the best school in the district.Technology is not a very fun school, but the educational level is great and the teachers are the best. They really do care about the students.Teachers stay after school to give tutoring to students who need help.I think this is very helpful and students improve from what they were taught. I know this because, I'm a living witness. Students who attend Technology High School leaves with a good education and also get good jobs.
