I loved the amazing theatre program and music programs! I was able to have a wide variety of activities, and academics. I was able to travel with the school band, and have leadership opportunities. I appreciated how hard the staff worked to have all students achieve academically. I also was able to earn almost 30 credits through the University of Minnesota while still being in high school. I am very thankful for my high school experience.
While Burnsville High School has some promising clubs, the racial and gender equality within BHS is poor. My time at Burnsville has shown me several clubs that are beneficial to students and the community. DECA teaches students vital business skills and helps the community through its annual blood drive. Also, Burnsville Strong and Link Crew make it their mission to ensure the physical and mental well being of the students and community by volunteering to help with everything from caring for the elderly to placing anti-anxiety rooms in the school. This being said, hall monitors have a tendency to only ask colored students where they are supposed to be; I, as a white female, have never been stopped while passing a hall monitor without a pass while my colored friends have been stopped whether or not they held a hall pass. Gender equality is also a weak point within the school with dress codes targeting females and leaving male students wearing virtually whatever they please.
After being in the district for all of my schooling, I have learned so much from my own experience at Burnsville. There are so many different kids all in one building, which is awesome, diversity is really important. Additionally, that can cause issues because so many different people from different backgrounds, can stir up problems. With the fights, to gun threats, if I were a parent of a student, Burnsville would be the last place they go.
I think that the education part of it, is the best, they offer so many college classes, really great teachers, and hard working administration. Along with that, it seems like the teachers are always working their hardest to make everyone happy.
