The best thing about Chrisman is the football friends I made. The coaches really helped me through my years in school. I felt like they had my back no matter what. Most of the teachers were awesome as well. They do have a good set up to get you ready for the career that you want to go into.

The staff is cold towards outsiders. In the 10 or so times I've subbed here, I've never felt at home. In all the hundreds of classrooms I've worked in, I've only encountered two that left me completely without sub plans. Both were at Chrisman.
