    While Plainfield High School has good intentions about improving student life, these changes are sometimes unprecedented and introduced without student approval. In addition, while the student punishments are often thorough, the generalization of certain infractions (satirical social media post compared to a school shooting threat) create an unfair verdict for many students who don't have any bad intentions. However, there are a multitude of activities to be involved in, teachers who care about their students, and a relaxed environment as opposed to other schools that carry a tense atmosphere. In overall terms, there is work to do, but the work that has been done is executed well.

    Plainfield High School has really excelled in making the students a priority. The courses they offer helps prepare a student for life after high school. They provide a variety course paths for students know what they want to do as their career. For example, I am interested in engineering and currently on a Technical Honors diploma track. The student body is well diverse and culture is safe and encouraged. I have truly enjoyed my experience at the high school. In addition, the school's extra curricular activities are award winning and all is encouraged to join. I am currently on the "We the People" team and looking forward to my first competition. I have also been a part of the robotics team.
    Plainfield Community School Corporation is very welcoming community. As a student who has attended Plainfield since kindergarten, I can say I have definitely enjoyed my time here. Plainfield's school corporation is constantly praising their students for their accomplishments, and constantly supporting those who need help to succeed. Every single one of my teachers that I have had since I was five years old has helped me, and been genuinely invested in me as a student. They have helped me become the person that I am today, and they have helped shape me into an academically strong, and well rounded human being. I learned not only how to thrive in the classroom, but how to treat others and myself with the utmost respect.
