Life at Dekalb hasn't been anything short of boring. The diversity that Dekalb brings allows for many different interactions, along with exposure to multiple cultures and communities, as well as the people involved. The staff, for the most part, is great and strive to see all students succeed. In contrast to my private middle school that provided almost no diversity, Dekalb allows it's students to interact and learn from others, teaching us all dire respect despite our differences.
I haven't finished High School Yet, but the experience so far has been amazing. I play basketball and soccer and the students are so caring to one another. The school supports one another and it is amazing. It's a great time during football season and basketball season when everyone is cheering and laughing together. I am also in the band and that has created a second family for me. DeKalb Highschool really cares about their students. The teachers are caring and supportive and just really want the best for you.
My experience at DeKalb High school was fairly good. The teachers I had were great at their job and ensuring that I had the tools to succeed. One thing I did not like about DHS was the way the student body acted. There was lots of disrespect and often times, I wished that classes were smaller. Overall, most days there wasn't a huge problem.
