  If you’re planning on coming to this school, don’t expect to have your voice heard- ESPECIALLY if you aren’t involved in sports. Things have only gotten worse since the merge and I can’t stand being here another minute. Whenever anyone I know has had a problem, administration fails to help. Whether it’s a safety concern such as 3 people to a bus seat and STILL having people sitting on the floor, to violent threats being made to a student and punishing the victim rather than the violator. There is a lack of school spirit for anything that isn’t related to sports and while Hawk Holiday Hope 2017 had a lot of effort put into it this year, it’s really the only successful event the school has had thoughout the 10 months we’re in session. There’s not really anything else to look forward to for the rest of the year. The administration refuse to listen to student concerns or ideas. There are many students who want to help organize events such as a Junior Prom or start a new club. Did you know we’re one of the ONLY schools in Massachusetts to not have a senior week? Once again (I seriously, seriously can’t stress this enough)- Every raised concern is met with a reason why it’s the STUDENT’S fault, or a simple “we’ll look into it,” and then never thinking twice about it again. The only part of the administration team that has been helpful for any purpose are the guidance counselors, who are easy to talk to but don’t have a lot of power. The people who DO have the ability to change things arent listening and are just doing nothing. There is NO STUDENT VOICE here. You are just another number and if you have a problem, then too bad- you’re on your own.
