The administration and teachers are constantly planning events to get parents involved. I love to volunteer and help at Hagood; it is a welcoming, homely atmosphere! My child loves to go to school every day!

The school was okay. I left in 9th grade because a girl told some lies on me however. They gave her all the support she wanted even though they knew she lied. They never supported me at all through the situation aside from a “oh just stay away from her”. I have to deal with the emotional trauma everyday because of what she done. I’m scared to even go out in public now. And besides that, I was told not to tell any of my friends about what happened or I’d get in trouble, which is an infringement of my first amendment rights. They supposedly told her the same thing but she never got in trouble when she told her friends because “if there was rumors we’d hear them”. There was also another time when a boy tried pushing me down the stairs and they let him get away with it because daddy has money and “he was horseplaying”. The teachers were great aside from all that. Ms. Sailors, Ms. Jennings, Ms. Patnode, and Mrs. Roach, I love you all, you’re the greatest teachers I’ve ever had. And coach Blackwell, you’re the coolest sub ever. They’re the only staff that could at least keep me slightly motivated through all of it. If you want your kids to have good teachers, let them go here. If you don’t want your kids to get bullied, choose a different school. Because there’s good teachers elsewhere too. Just the sight of this school triggers my trauma now.
