Not only for learning new things that will stay with us for years to come, but also making some of the greatest friends.
Here we take a look back at high schools across Wakefield in 2004, 2005 and 2006 – from competitions and sports to Ofsted celebrations and, well, some good old school fun!
Take a look and see if they bring back any memories for you!
