Creative Writing is frankly an easy A, and depending on your personality, an easy 100%. But if you have a remote interest in writing, even as a passing hobby, use that leeway to actually experiment and make things you want to make.

It is very writing heavy, but the teacher will guide you and provide help if needed. I would look at the content she posts on Google Classroom. It is great for writing essays.

Ms. Mahoney is the kindest teacher I’ve had in either middle or high school, and she genuinely cares about each of her kids both academically and personally. She knows high schoolers need a low-stress but productive class period where they can actually be themselves, and her Creative Writing class is just that.

This teacher is incredible. She really cares about her students beyond the classroom, and she is always willing to chat with you and offer help. Not only is she truly interested in the subject that she teachers, but she makes the English content fun and always allows for the student to express their creativity.
