Tolleson Union High School
I wish i never begged to go to tolleson. The rules are strict treating us like we are in junior high or elementary school. They wonder why kids graffiti, fight, and cause all kind of trouble; its because of they ridiculous rules. I would not recommend any parent to allow their child to attend tolleson high school.
