Gainesville City Schools is overall a good school system. The schools are very diverse and inclusive of the people and the community allowing people to find a new family and friend group no matter the schooling level. The biggest program in the school system is the Band, The Big Red Machines. The band hold a huge part in bringing not only schools together, but the community as well. This varies from football games to the community pep rallies. The connection of the school also goes much deeper than just the extracurriculars, the teachers hold an important part. At Gainesville teachers and faculty are very involved in maintaining the overall happiness and wellbeing of the students throughout the school year. The only negative about the schools is that some students don't play their part in helping maintain the school's cleanliness, and moving forward I would love to see system wide implements to have a cleaner school.
I did enjoy my time at Gainesville High School. I was presented with many opportunities to challenge my mind and meet people of different backgrounds and cultures. Most teachers that I had the honor of being in their classes devoted their time and on occasion their own money to see their students succeed. My mother actually works for Gainesville High School and while she has had her own struggles, as everyone has, she loves her job. Her praise of the school was one of the leading factors that made me decide to go to the school in the first place. Gainesville is a place for growth and opportunity.
The Gainesville city school system has given me some of the best memories along with an amazing education. Gainesville High school is constantly providing its students with opportunities to learn about the different options we have post graduation. If you take advantage of these opportunities, you will be more than ready to move into college, the work force, or any other path you choose to take. One thing I wish I could improve is the lack of support towards female sports. As a former high school softball player, and a soon to be college athlete, I feel that it is vital that all schools support female sports the same way they support male sports.
