    I love the Lancaster school district because they give students many opportunities to succeed. For example, they allowed me to take courses at HACC for free and I receive free college credits. Also, they let you be apart of CTC, Stevens Trade, and Millersville for dual enrollment. Also, I enjoy the diversity of the school because you get to learn about different cultural backgrounds and make new friends. In addition, I love what you can be apart of, such as sports or clubs they have available. For instance, I play soccer, bowling, and unified track to get involved in my school. Moreover, I am in clubs such as Link Crew and National Honors Society.

    One thing that I liked about the Lancaster School District is that they provide various opportunities for the students in preparation for college, trade schools, and programs. Support for minorities and marginalized groups are amazing. The slogan " No child is left behind" is really respected and promised.
    I am a proud student of Lancaster. The teachers I have had throughout the years have provided me with not only knowledge, but valuable skills which can help me for the rest of my life. The schools are constantly being renovated and improved for the benefit of students, faculty, and parents. Lancaster School District is a district to be proud of.
