What people are saying

Saturday, February 7, 2015

Williams is by no means a perfect high school, but its many minor flaws create a sense of camaraderie among the students. Williams is by no means a beautiful high school, but its aesthetic deficiencies allow for the students to grow a deep fondness for it. Like a dog. Everybody loves ugly dogs.

If something happened to this place, I can speak for many of the people that attended Williams when I say that it would be an absolute tragedy. Williams will never be a cookie-cutter, nice school, but that's exactly why we love it. Close Quote

There are constant fights, and confrontations. There are mostly low class minorities who go to the school, and have no intention of learning. Most of the students do drugs, and some of them do the drugs inside of the school. It is not very good. Close Quote
