As a former graduate of Tahanto Reg. H.S, I found that I struggled academically. I was a typical student and I tried really hard to get good grades. I was tested for learning disabilities in 7th, 9th and 12th grade. All that came out of it was that I was lacking verbal, math and cognitive skills. The

There's times when I would rather be anywhere else than this school, the building is falling apart, the basement until recentlly was like a cave from a horror film.
