Berrien Springs High School is one of the more inclusive schools in SW Michigan. The staff and students are accepting of diverse genders, religions, sexualities, etc. However, there is always more work to be done. I believe that Berrien Springs High School should provide more information about mental health. Many students don't know the resources that are available to them throughout their high school career. For example, during a difficult time in my life, I was referred to the school's behavioral specialist in which I was completely unaware of until I was in desperate need of their services. Many students don't know how to deal with their stresses, especially considered higher education. While we do have two wonderful guidance counselors, not enough is said about what they can do for the students. Overall, the school is doing an incredible job, but there are still a few issues regarding mental health that should be addressed.
The school is a great place if you are looking for good opportunities. Academic or recreational, our programs are excellent. Even our new programs excel rapidly. Our school places staff that truly care about the well being of the students and their futures. The only problem is that our school does not offer AP, IB, or honors classes. This may make students feel like it puts them at a disadvantage when applying for college because they cannot show their excellence in this field compared to other students around the country. However they do provide an advance programs such as The Math and Science Center, dual enrollment classes, and Career Technical Education where select students can take classes that increase in difficulty and challenge them selves at college level material.
I love that there is a lot of diversity in the school, there are people from all over. Berrien springs High is great at finding programs and different courses of study for each student. There are many different college classes you can take as early as Sophomore Year.
