    Opportunity, diversity, inclusion and rigorous academics describe Chamblee Charter High School. Since 9th grade I have strived to compete with classmates form varying backgrounds and claim my place in bulldog history. In additional to competition, our teachers promote inclusion and collaboration. Thorough my experiences I know that one day I will become a self-sufficient productive member of society. The only change I would make about my school would be to provide more access to students who are not able to attend due to the attendance lottery. All students deserve an opportunity for great teaching and learning!

    One of the best things Chamblee has to offer is diversity, it brings in students from all over Dekalb and from many different backgrounds. The worst thing at Chamblee is the social environment, it is extremely competitive. Last year was the first time that we had not had a suicide. The counseling department needs to be more engaged with it's student body, especially when it comes to schedules.Teachers are engaging & you can tell most of the are passionate about their subjects. I wish that Chamblee would realize that not every student is going to want to take STEM AP classes. We have limited AP options for students that have strengths in history, art, English, & language.
    Chamblee Charter High School is a magnet school in Dekalb County that is committed to excellence and encouraging brighter futures for their students. My school has been voted one of the best schools in GA due to our amazing academics, teachers, and administration. We are very diverse and that is something that I really enjoy about my school; I have the chance to have friends of all races. We have a tremendous amount of clubs and activities to choose from, so there's no reason why any of our students shouldn't be involved. One thing that I would like to see change at Chamblee Charter High School, would definitely be the food because it's not the best! Even our vending machines don't have snacks that most students enjoy. Overall, Chamblee Charter High School is an amazing high school that is definitely getting me ready for college and I am so ready to graduate from there in 2018!
