It offers a variety of academical and cultural experiences to all people that come in the form of academies and its variety of clubs. It has dealt with COVID cases with extreme precaution and efficiency with Nurses at the District responding accordingly and quickly. The transition back into normal society can be extremely felt because many of the former activities we did are back such as dances, marches, clubs, petitions and etc. The staff at the high schools continue to consistently participate in many school events such as Academt Events and Clubs. The staff at this district have continuously respected and support the LGBTQ+ Community. Furthermore, it has integrated an E-Sports Scene into one of the many extracurriculars you can do. To add on, it has recently added attention to our African American communities and created awareness about it in our district. With everything in mind, it has made my experience amazing and offers what I could truly want in a school district.
What I liked about Palm Springs Unified School District is that there always trying to have something for everyone. For example, they come up with new ways for the kids education and to make it more enjoyable. I also love how mostly every student has access to computers or ipads and that makes it easier for kids to learn how to transition into this new age full of technology. Although, there are something things that can use changing. Another change that the Palm Springs Unified School District made that I loved, was the transition to free lunches. When I was younger I would remember that kids and myself included would sometimes not be able to fill a plate of lunch because their parent of guardian could not pay it on time. The lunch ladies would give us a ticket to give to our parents to remind them to pay it. Therefore, I loved that the Palm Springs Unified School District made lunches accessible to everyone by making them free.
What I like most about the Palms Springs Unified School district is, that they offer so many opportunities to students. For example, in my middle school years, my school offered the program A.V.I.D. This program motivates and prepares students for college while also offering college campus field trips. I was told that my school was the only one in the valley to have this program and it was because the school district decided for the school to offer it. The whole point of this story, is that if the district didn’t choose to have that program In my school, I wouldn’t be as motivated to go to college as I am now. Currently, I am in high school, and PSUSD keeps doing the best for us students, by allowing our school to offer various classes, some which are not offered in other schools. In addition, the program A.V.I.D is still being offered and I am now about to be in my 6th year In this program!
