My overall experience at Armstrong High was great although they're were many distraction which I didn't get involved in because I was only focusing on graduating in the top 10 . At Armstrong high school they're were many great teachers, counselors, and staff who was always willing to help when needed. During the time of my freshman and sophomore year I joined the Armstrong marching band, which led me to meet so many energetic positive students who were already attending the school before me and team were very welcoming due to my shyness. When my junior year was approaching I decided not to return to the marching band but was accepted into the dual enrollment dental assisting program which was 2 years which was the best two years ever and it was just a great time to meet so many wonderful classmates who was very caring and willing to participate in every thing the teacher assigned. Final year, I knew I met the requirements to graduate.
My Exprience with Armstrong has been very interesting. I noticed that a lot of things in our school need to be changed immediately but in my opinion the Mayor in our city dosen't care about our school since we're a unaccredited school. We're also surrounded by four projrects in aour area so that kinda effects the way the students act in our school if you ask me. But if i could change one thing about Armstrong High School It would be the whole school because the school is really old to the point its breaking down slowly and the supplies we have are not up to date mainly becasuse the school doesn't have a lot a money to support that it. The teachers, principle, and staff can stay because most of them try at least help the students pass instead of failing.
Armstrong high school has a rich history and background regarding African American education and this year it is our mission our mission to restore our legacy within the school and community. Armstrong is located in the heart of our urban neighborhood which provide a strong culture among students. The school used to have the name Kennedy High School which transfered to Armstrong-Kennedy to later on dropping the last name and keeping Armstrong for good. Although students from these urban areas attend this school, we try to make the best out of what we have and what is provided to us. Sometimes it may not be the best but we continue to push through and make full accredidation.
