I loved my experience at Armstrong high school for a abundance of reasons, first it is a historical black school being so it is enriched with so much culture. I also played football for the historical Armstrong high there football team is steadily improving they have an amazing head coach who is working hard trying to get his players exposure from different colleges. All the teachers there want you to succeed and be great no matter who you are . The lessons are amazing you can really understand when they’re teaching, if you don’t understand the are always willing to help you . The teachers and fellow staff there are a very respectful therefore I am proud to say I am a wildcat at the historical Armstrong High!
This is my last year in high school and my first year at Armstrong High School. I would like to say my experience at Armstrong High School was everything I expected. I was able to play on the basketball and football team. I was able to connect with students I grew up with during my recreational years. More than anything, I appreciated the assistance I received from the teachers in making sure I had all the tools needed to attend college. The teachers put me in a position to where I never thought about attending college until I got to Armstrong High School. I am thankful for this experience.
What I liked about Armstrong High School would be the Future center, because they got most juniors and seniors ready for college or should is say the real world. They helped us fill out college applications ans scholarships they also helped us Right essays for our college applications. They took us on field trips to visit some colleges to give us broad selections of schools to chose from. Things that I would like to see change at Armstrong High School would be the courses that they give students. I feel as if you a senior in high school they should give you classes that set you up for the real world such as how to have good credit, how to do your taxes, etc. not saying that the classes they give us aren't necessary but we need to be prepared for the real world
