Fort Mill High School is one of the nicest schools I've attended. I travel a lot for band competitions and see many different schools all over South Carolina. The staff are excellent and the teachers work hard every day to engage us, the students, in learning. My only bad experience though was with a teacher in the English Department, who illegally rewrote my 504. I was struggling in class with submitting things on time and she made it harder for me by being able to deny my extended deadlines for all my classes. Something I'd like to see change in FMHS is having a better understanding of kids with special needs and having staff have a better understanding of 504s and IEPs. Teachers should take their time to learn about their students and their needs for school and to help further their education.
I was a member of the marching band all 4 years so mainly all my friends were band kids which was amazing to me. I believe being in the band made me survive high school. I met my best friend through band, and I am also participating in DCI this summer. DCI is basically professional marching band.
Something I loved about Fort Mill was their hardworking teachers. Every years my math teacher was always amazing, especially my senior year when I took AP Calculus. Best teacher ever.
I absolutely hated how the school district prevented students from taking certain English Honors courses. I had to advocate so hard for myself to be placed into the courses. I would like to see staff have less control over course recommendations. My sophomore year I wanted to take AP European History and I had to do an override form as well as a conference meeting — it was pointless because I ended up getting an A in the class and I passed the exam.

My experience at Fort Mill high was good. There are many great teachers at the school who want to see you succeed and try their best to help you do so. While there are many great teachers there are a couple bad ones. During my time at the school I had a few teachers that made me dread going to their class everyday. They would constantly lose my class work and try to publicly embarrass me in front of the class. Because of this I did request to be moved into a completely different class, in which the school does do a good job at helping with. Fort Mill offers a large variety of classes, which makes it easier for students to get a more personalized learning. The sports department is also pretty good. They put a lot of emphasis on students athletes having good grades, so they are able to play/participate. My time at FMHS was an overall good experience, I met some of my best friends and was able to get a good jumpstart on my higher academic learning.
