The best part about Abilene High would be the kind teachers especially the ones teaching Ap, they do what they can to get students prepared for college. The worst part would be the students in and of themselves, there are bullys on student council, kids not having opportunities because of other students, and students attacking other students.

This campus provides excellent academic college readiness and challenges individuals taking advanced placement courses indefinitely, ultimately providing and equipping these students with vast tools and knowledge for later success within the near future. I would like to see the closed-campus policy revoked due to it not being instilled throughout the campus during lunch hours. I feel students are responsible enough to respect and abide by these policies when given the freedom of being an open-campus during lunch hours. Overall, Abilene High’s school spirit is unmatched and wholesome, and I’m thankful to always be an Abilene High Eagle.
