    I had a pretty great high school experience at George W. Hewlett High School. The school has great courses with caring and dedicated teachers. There are multiple opportunities to improve as a student and get in involved. With the after school clubs and sports, it's easy to call yourself a Bulldog!

    The school, academically is really incredible. Opportunities are plentiful in numerous academic and artistic fields such as Theatre, Arts, Science, History and more. Diversity is not great and neither as culture as there is not much school pride and alot of individual competitiveness within classes. Administration and Safety is always kept up especially in the modern climate of concern, the staff is usually always on top of it and I have not have had bad moments with the administration as of yet. Additionally the classes are extremely diverse as there are options for all student types which include the numerous AP, college and honor classes of which some have job specialization. Overall the school is great academically but does have numerous things to workout.
    The experience at Hewlett High School for me personally was good. I can confidently say that I have actually made life long friends, and formed a group of close friends I call my brothers. The teachers make it very easy to learn difficult material, and the resources I am offered every day is unmatched. The school even goes above and beyond in requiring us to take a Financial Literacy Test, so that in the real world, we have a basis of understanding on how to write a check, do taxes, etc. The only knock that I have on Hewlett High School is the fact that there is zero school spirit. It would be exciting if people actually went to the games that our fellow classmates partake in, if people cared about how we did in athletics, it would make my experience much more enjoyable.
