I was in the theatre department at Buchanan and we were practically family. Even a year after graduation I’m still in touch with my friends and teachers there. If it weren’t for COVID-19, I would be visiting them often. I try to go to any plays they’re putting on because I love seeing the new students thrive in such an amazing competitive environment. Buchanan is known for sports, and I did go to a handful of football games and track meets to see our nationally recognized teams play. Academically, we have some great teachers that care about their students. If I was struggling, I know I could go to my teachers no matter what. Classes were fun and effective. I don’t think I would have understood trigonometry if it wasn’t for Mrs. Myers. If there’s a school that has more pride than Buchanan, I’d be amazed. GO BEARS!
Buchanan high school gave me the opportunities and experiences to be prepared for life outside of college. Their plethora of programs allowed me to expand my knowledge and skills in athletics, academics, and career pursuits. High school is never an easy time of life for most students, but buchanan high school tried their best to ensure that every student have an equal stand and chances of success. I would not have wanted to be apart of any other high school! Go Bears!
I loved being a student at Buchanan. The teachers were wonderful! However with regards to co-curricular activities, I think that there should have been more of an emphasis on the STEM programs such as robotics and the science fair. As a former athlete and current engineering major, I wish I would have have received more information on those other activities because it would have better prepared me for my career.
