The Plano Independent School district has three academy high school that students can attend. The IB academy , the STEM academy, and The Health Sciences Academy. I will graduate from the Health Science Academy program in 2021. It was absolutely great! I will have Certified Nurses Assistant, Electrocardiogram Technician, and Emergency Medical Technician certifications when I graduate High School as well as an Associates degree. I have gained tremendous exposure to the health care field from my clinical experience. I have gained a wealth of knowledge about the human body from the anatomical structure to the cellar level. I feel like I already have a head start on medical school and I haven’t even graduated high school.
Plano Independent School District is an amazing school district. It offers lots of opportunities for growth and success, and I'd like to see more of these opportunities extended to more and more individuals from varying communities. By integrating communities and presenting ways to make Plano more inclusive and diverse, the social and academic aspects of PISD will further improve. Overall, Plano ISD is a very generous school district as they offer many resources and opportunities to learn research, team-building, and real-life skills.
As a senior who attended elementary school through graduation, I would say that my educational experience has been positive. I think that the administration needs to take a look at some teachers because they care more about their subject than students, and that was evident during the pandemic. It seems like administrators are afraid to discipline bad teachers, but they don't praise the really great teachers either. The really great teachers are the ones who inspire their students, engage their students, and show them mercy and grace because they get to know them. The teachers that are content driven only want to deliver education, and they don't seem to care if they reach students or not. They don't care if a student passes or fails; it is up to the student to learn however the teacher teaches the material. The great teachers teach students in the way that the students need to be taught. Outside of this perspective, Plano is a great place to grow up academically.
