I enjoyed the atmosphere at football and basketball games, along with a few kind staff. However, Henderson county schools seem to be understaffed, unorganized, and corrupt. The teachers would daily express their disdain for the school system. The popular and rich students that attended the schools would receive special treatment and wouldn't get into nearly as much trouble as someone else who committed the same offense. Many teachers would also show favoritism for the popular/rich students. Also, on many occasions the school food would come with hairs in them, or be cold when meant to be cooked, etc. In addition, the dress code at Henderson county high school was extremely outdated and conservative. For example, girls aren't allowed to wear shirts with sleeves that don't come down past the shoulder and allowed to wear leggings. However, male students have little rules when it comes to dress code. Henderson county public school system needs to get its priorities in order!
I would like to see the transition period between classes change. Maybe considering another high school in the area, because there are too many students in that school. Or make something like 2 wings or add to the school for more space. Also the security is not great.
I would also like tot see a difference in the coaching staffs. There are many students that will not go out for sports because the coaches are too involved with parents and politics, not giving everyone the same opportunity.

With the whole covid situation I feel as if they handled it the best they could. They took their time with students and let them ease back with the whole idea of learning. They also eased in more days of school and slowly things were going back to normal. The work was quite easy since covid had been so hard before they took their time with us and although I do wish we could have learned a little more throughout the year I am quite happy with what I did learn. I feel as if more precautions could of been taking place but that goes for nearly everywhere. the schools really did an amazing job.
