My High School

Being a senior in high school has showed me many problems with my school. I have had both good and bad experiences so far. Most situations are not as extreme as they were at Fremont High School. With that being said, some problems with my high school might surprise you.

Samuel Clemens High School was established during the 1890’s, but it wasn’t always as nice, big, and crowded as it is now.

The first day of school is a book just opened with the story yet to unfold. My story starts in a new unfamiliar place. It was intimidating to walk into the halls of Larned High School. Coming from a school of 80 students to a school of over 300 students was a massive change.

Houston Elementary School is a small school in a rural area. Many of its students are stricken with poverty, and find it a struggle to cope with day to day life. Teachers and staff do their best to aid the students in this however they can. They modify their instructional methods to where students feel comfortable, they provide food for the students to take home over the weekend, and they do their best to ensure that every student is being cared for.

Most people might view St. Charles High School as a typical high school. However, another perspective of St. Charles High School may be a cosmopolitan canopy. According to Elijah Anderson, in The Cosmopolitan Canopy, a cosmopolitan canopy is when diverse people interact. However, tension among the people is expected. St. Charles High School is a cosmopolitan canopy because it is diverse, comfortable, and civil.

It is important that Kelsey High School meets the needs of all the students they serve daily. The High School provides opportunities and programs including Advanced Placement and Honors courses. The school also offers a variety of vocational classes.

Boiling Springs High School is an amazing school where everything is accessible to succeed in life, but one factor is missing. The sports teams are ranked high in the county with an amazing track, lacrosse, and baseball team. The school has fantastic classes that contain brilliant students with high GPA’S. What is the last factor that is needed in order for everyone to succeed? If any student tries to get contraception, they will not succeed in obtaining them. Condoms, birth control, and nuvarings are nowhere to be found in a nurse’s office at our school. If anyone tries to stay healthy while having sexual interactions, they will be unfortunate.

I have been able to spend the past four years of my life learning and exploring at Belding High School. The teachers have done a wonderful job doing more than just teaching an obscure algebra equation or history fact, but about life and how much those four years are going to affect my future. Belding has a few areas to touch up on, but overall it has a positive influence on my decisions and emotions.

I remember walking into Cedar Ridge for the first time, seeing new faces, new halls, but also seeing many opportunities and new things awaiting me. All of the welcoming teachers, principles, and staff stood door to door smiling and guided us in the right direction as we walked in circles trying to find our first English class. I was a cheerleader on the junior varsity squad, every girls “perfect” dream to starting high school.

Saint Martin de Porres High School in Cleveland, Ohio is a co-ed catholic college preparatory institution on a mission to provide a quality education and invaluable work experience to inner city youth. The vision Saint Martin de Porres High School has for each student is to attend a college or university. Thus far their goal has been achieved; however the school does not guarantee your student a baccalaureate degree. Saint Martin students usually fall under the category of first-generation college students. Their lack of knowledge and experience about higher education sets them at a disadvantage when it comes to academic success and graduation completion. Formal research has yet to be conducted on the success of Saint Martin de Porres High School students. Due to personal ties with Saint Martin de Porres High School, it is necessary to look into these issues to preserve the longevity of Saint Martin and to ensure the success of its graduates beyond high school graduation.

We all have different kinds of the first day of school experiences, but for every student, I feel that stepping into the first day of school as a freshman would mark as the most memorable day in all high school years. Before the first day of school, I quickly thought that my freshman year would turn into the toughest and saddest year in my experience. My best friend would not attend the same high school with me, which already gives me many conclusions of how sad and hard of a school year it would result. However, maybe things will turn out differently than we think if we just change something about our way of living it.

“High school graduates everywhere are taking an important step towards the future”. Here at Rocky Mount High school we’ve had one of our own alumni’s, Chuck Robins, who is now being appointed by Cisco Systems, as its next CEO (Murray). Robins will be ending the 20-year run of John Chambers. Many alumni’s from Rocky Mount High have gone into a bright future. You’re probably wondering, why does Rocky Mount High have successful graduates? Some would answer with our general school quote, “We are a community enhancing lives through learning”(Murray). Rocky Mount High is a substantial high school based off of our well-achieved academic school programs, significant athletics as well as positivity throughout the school.

I remember being an anxious eighth grader thinking about starting my freshman year of high school. We went from being at the top of the school to being at the bottom of a new one. All of our middle school teachers always told us about how our high school teachers wont “hold our hands” and how we will be on our own. Being in high school is completely different than being in elementary school and middle school. Its almost like each year we have more and more freedom but more responsibility.

The first year, the time to prove myself had arrived. Classes, rooms, teachers, and some students were unfamiliar. Eventually, minutes melted into hours, hours to days, and days to weeks. It didn’t take long before my schedule was routine, something of second nature. Humor and happiness were found in the form of my advisory family, where school was transformed into something more than going through the same motions of day to day activity. By the closing point of sixth grade, I was having a hard time letting go of what I’d adapted to. “What’s wrong?” my dad asked when I was getting into the car after being picked up early on the last day. I explained how distressed I was that my first year of middle school exceeded my expectations, and that it had to come to an end. Although his outlook viewed my reason for sorrow as trivial, I didn’t.

Freshman year I remember walking into the school mortified, thinking that everything and anything that could go wrong would. I had never attended a Liberty-Benton School and knew about five people that would be in my grade. I was shy and quiet because I didn’t know any of the new faces. I was insecure about myself and thought that it would be almost impossible to make friends. Before high school, I went to a small, private,
