I've been in the school for 2 years now, its teachers and extracurriculars really help it out. The worst I would say about it is the food, but they are adding more variety to it from since I was a freshman.

Throughout my 4 years at Celina Highschool, I was able to explore a different world and mature into the responsible, critical thinking adult I will go on to become. One of the best moments throughout my time there would have to be with friends. This experience has not just let me develop my social skills, but it has also allowed me to network with with fellow students, including faculty of higher status as well. the one worst of my time there was the when I was failing math and felt hopeless. However, I was able to overcome that challenge which resulted in me passing with A's throughout the second semester of my senior year. if there could be one thing that could change, it would be placing the vending machines back into school.

Prioritizes sports and athletes above all, many teachers are coaches that are only teaching subjects out of requirement. “Teaching to the test” is very common and school is becoming overcrowded.
