I used to be a senior a Georgetown High School earlier in the year. I do have to admit that it is a great school but it has its flaws. Some of the teachers get payed above what they should to do nothing but just sit there. Other teachers are great. I do have to say that without Ms. Black i don't believe that i would have made it out of the 11th grade so thank you much.

I am a rising senior at Georgetown High School and I have to say that it has been a wonderful experience. I have memories that I will cherish for years and the teachers have done everything in their power to get you excited about learning. I have never had a problem sorting out my schedule and I think that the staff is doing an excellent job with the students!
