Bethel High School is a school that provides students with the tools they need to succeed after high school. Most of the teachers go the extra mile for their students but the students refuse to use the resources they are given. Administration doesn't do much to benefit the students other than yelling at students who violate the dress code rather than focusing on the bigger issues. The building is old and needs to be updated and the sports teams consistently under-perform but still manage to be a central attraction for students.
