My last four years at Cherokee Trail have been very eventful. I believe I have lived the average high school experience. The school itself is very big, with over 3,000 students attending each year. Some teachers strive to help better the understanding of students, even though the homework and tests given can be little to very overwhelming. Academics has been stressful, but I have managed to make many caring friends who have gotten me through it all! At Cherokee Trail, school spirit is no joke. We go above and beyond when it comes to spirit days, sporting events, and other school activities for homecoming week, prom week, and especially wish week! Everyone is so inclusive and we make sure to celebrate the diversity shown throughout the school!
As an IB student, I found the teachers to be very passionate and enthusiastic. This mindset influenced the students to be actively engaged in the classroom, and almost all the students treat their teachers with respect. Additionally, the students whom are part of the leadership program are very diligent and hard-working, always making sure there is always CT spirit, even during the COVID pandemic. I am incredibly proud to be a cougar!
I met some of my best friends here and met my current boyfriend in that group. Most the teachers here are very nice and understanding, and the counselors seem to like what they do and clearly want the students to succeed. I’m on a 504 plan and all my teachers understand and are extremely supportive. They might not say it out loud, but they truly care about the kids that they have to teach. I’m a junior here and I’d have to say that the past 3 years have been the best 3 years of my life. The only thing I would change is the homework load, but even that can be overcome with proper spacing of how much you do up until the due date, whether that’s the next class period or the next week. Overall it’s a really good school!
