The educators are patient and make the working environment positive, there is a nice school spirit as well. Many of the teachers are flexible and will cater the student's needs with extra help sessions, recovery and test correction opportunities. The school allows a 30 minute time period in the school day as a study hall and offers diverse activities. The school offers a large variety of courses and provides students with the all necessary amenities which make the learning experience more interactive. In addition, many extra curricular activities are offered such as clubs and sport teams. The school's campus is comfortable and easy to navigate through with multiple buildings. On the other hand the administration is not the best as there is some communication problems within the staff and from the staff to students. My friends and I have encountered multiple issues with our administrator and the communication of information is somewhat slow and at time inaccurate or not explicit.
I would say my overall experience with my current school Alpharetta High School is good! I am a rising junior and a first generation in my family and before coming in to high school I didn’t know anything especially managing my schedule or how important extracurricular were, but had many people help me. What I would like to see a change is in more help for those first generation kids who are struggling having an extra support without judgment.
I have taken various art and art-related courses both inside and outside of school. Alpharetta High school in Georgia has provided me with a multitude of opportunities in various subjects of art from ceramics to photography. Because of the vast quantity of courses available to me, I took some other courses during each summer to enable me to have the art courses I’m interested in during the school years. This effort helped me gain a fundamental understanding and practical experience in multiple areas. So far, I have taken Ceramics, Digital Design I and II, AP art history, AP drawing, photography I and II, and IB Visual Arts. I learned a lot through these courses from conceptualization to execution, and about the assortment of techniques used for various art media. I have also taken Audio-Video for three consecutive years to systematically learn how to create short films, documentaries, music videos, commercials, instructional videos, vlogs, etc.
