One of the things I loved about Owensboro High School is the environment and everyone surrounding it. Most of the staff are wonder and of course there are some very strict teachers who can be challenging to be around but everything was amazing! Cafeteria staff and food was outstanding and I loved every moment of high school! One thing I would change about it is the people who pick new staff members who have never been principals at all to be one. If they had at least 1 year as assistant principal helping manage everything and how they do it, they could make it better when they become principal and not just going for it when they don't know what they're doing.
I attend Owensboro Innovation Academy. The school has a mix of students from different schools and who all share interest in STEM. We have a tight knit community here at OIA. Since the school is smaller, the teachers and students are able to have a closer connection. The teachers take the time to personally know each of the students which makes the education experience much more rewarding. I would also like to mention that our teachers are passionate about what they teach and making sure students are prepared for life outside of school.
Our school is a project based school and we reach out and team up with community partners. For example, in my freshman year we worked with Liberty in North Korea and created infographics to raise money and awareness on the situations North Koreans have to face.
Owensboro Innovation Academy has given me experiences I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere, and I am so glad that I was given the opportunity to attend.

I have been a student in the Owensboro Indepentent School systems for essentially my entire time being in school. My main focus of this is Owensboro High School. OHS (Owensboro High School)has provided me with many great opportunities. For example, OHS provided me with the opportunity to start the Early College Acadamy my junior year. The ECA is a program in which the students who qualify are allowed to take their classes full time at a local community college. So, I am getting a lot of college experience as a junior in high school! I am very thankful for all of the opportunities that Owensboro has provided to me, and I look forward for the positive ones to come.
