I love how diverse the school is. Also, there are quite a handful of teachers who are phenomenal at what they do and actually care about the students. However, the school does lack focus on technology. But there are many electives to choose from. The arts and music program are amazing. We have an award winning marching band and choir. Not to mention, how talented the people in drama club are! They always pull an outstanding show every year. Administration can be a little too strict but this is overall a good school.
Carteret High has been a journey to say the least. This school was built on conflict, drama, and stress. Although, what really makes Carteret High a good school are it’s teachers. Some of the teachers in this school make me come back every weekday!
My overall experience in Carteret High School and being a junior student enrolled there for the past few years has been interesting. Due to the fact the school is diversed and everyone there is trying to find their careers because high school is like a preview on real world. Most times you would be on your own and have to educate yourself on the things you have to get ready for especially college. Most likely you didn't have a helping hand cause your mostly forced to obtain information by asking questions . However, one reason I didn't like the high school was that we weren't really taught more about the different professions for those who thought about life outside of High school. Which made it extremely hard for me to really know what I wanted to major in college.
