I had the opportunity to get to know students from various backgrounds and cultures. This allowed me to gain a true appreciation of diversity. There were also many types learning options available to students. Throughout my entire high school career, I was enrolled in extended learning opportunities such as Project Lead The Way as well as the Professional Health Careers Academy.

I would have appreciated more staff members showing students that they cared about them personally. I had teachers show that they care but they were the exception, not the rule.

Berrien Springs High School is an amazing school, and I love going there. One of the best parts of the school is the amazing teachers and faculty. I have a lot of health issues, which has made a traditional school day impossible. But the school has been very accommodating, and have helped figure out a school day that works for me but also gets me all the credits I need and meets state requirements. The teachers especially have been kind and supportive in helping me keep up with my school worth day to day and long-term. There is such a wonderful community and support team for students, as well as great academics and a range of after-school activities.
My personal experience and Berrien Springs High School was wonderful. I’ve heard very few negative stories, and personally haven’t experienced anything negative myself. I absolutely love all my teachers, and I feel like they all genuinely care about every student’s success in this school. They have opportunities to join share time and dual enrollment programs, which have served as a very valuable resource to myself and hundreds of other students as well.
