I would like to see the administration care a bit more about the well being of their students. I would like to see more of the budget go to bettering the school and the academics and broadening the experiences offered to students instead of materials like TVs.

Spencer is a very small town therefore the high school is also very small. I personally loved that the school was small because it felt like a big family. Everyone knows everyone. I loved Spencer and was excited to go to school everyday. The teachers are absolutely amazing, and become lifelong advisors and friends.
