Glacier peak is a very nice high school. I just graduated but I already miss attending there. I love the administrative office and the teachers. LIke with every high school, not all the teachers were great but I loved a great majority of my teachers. I will also very much miss my councillor. She was was one of nicest people I have ever met. She was very patient and understanding. I think my favorite person to meet at school was the security guard. He was so friendly and funny. I would often eat lunch with him just so we could talk. The other kids were very nice too. The school has a very good sports program and after school clubs. The only thing I would change about the school is probably the diversity. The school is predominantly white. This is not a bad thing, as I have never felt like an outsider, but I do wish there was more diversity as someone who isn't white.
