I have thoroughly enjoyed my 4 years at General Douglas MacArthur high school. As a senior I can’t believe how fast the last four years gave gone by. Every teacher I have had has truly played apart in the person that I have become today. The teachers care about their students and want them to succeed. I do have favorite teachers, but I have nothing bad to say about any of the others. Is a great school for education and for feeling like you are part of a family. Their motto is once in general, always a general and I firmly believe that.
