They allow a woman beater, who was arrested, work there. Nuff said. I thought criminals weren't allowed to work at schools? If he beats women, in front of children no less, are your kids safe?

As a Graduate from Reading Senior High school I enjoyed my time as a student. I made many friends and memories.Enjoyed my classes and great teachers who treated me like they knew me my whole life. Regrettably I did not involve myself in the many extracurricular activities offered. Unfortunately I had a been diagnosed with clinical depression at the peak of high school. Which affected my schooling and overall experience. The high school worked with my therapist and I began to work on myself while in school, by being receiving counselling and therapy sessions . As I began to see progress, my senior year I lost my grandmother and began to fall behind in school, but most supportive teachers and counsellor that helped me graduated on time and apply to colleges, and university.

As an alum from Reading Senior High School I really enjoyed making the friends and connections I not only made with other alums but, as well as faculty. My band director is the reason why she made me continue being a music major. A thing I would like to see a change in the school is the safety of everyone. And I really hope there is some change soon in the security in Reading.
