I would like to see more club activities involving music and the arts implemented. I feel that another area the Santa Fe Public district could improve is in "racial sensitivity" training. When I was participating in a summer program called Scrub Club, I had an experience where another student called me a racial slur, and the overseer of the program, the principal of Capital High School, did not do anything about it, did not reprimand him in anyway. I've seen that sort of latent attitude towards blatant racism reflected in most teachers and principles I've come across in the Santa Fe Public School district.
I have been a student within Santa Fe Public Schools all my life. While there are parts of Santa Fe Public Schools that I think are great, there are also many places in which they fail to be an efficient part of the American education system. As far as teachers go, you have a 50/50 chance of getting a fantastic teacher, or getting one that will negatively impact your education. The counselors are useless and can't be relied upon for help. Administration tries to be an active part of student's lives and help them, but they often ignore feedback from students and parents and let their own personal opinions guide their decision making. For academics, it's left to the student whether or not they want to challenge themselves. There are dozens of programs and classes that offer higher-level academics, all you have to do is choose to take advantage of them.
Santa Fe Public schools provides education, leadership and guidance, along with many other opportunities to students of all backgrounds. Our public school system ensures a chance for each and every student to individually grow and succeed. I am grateful to say Santa Fe Public Schools has provided a community for me and many others. This overall community has helped us become the people we are today and the people we will continue to grow into for our futures. Being in the system from elementary-, middle- and high- school has taught me to explore career paths and in other interests such as hobbies. Academically, achievements are always offered in order to inspire students, alongside challenge them. In electives options include sports, music, art, engineering, and various other opportunities that inspire children to pursue their dreams, and acknowledge that they-we-are capable of achieving anything we put our minds to. Hard effort will be rewarded with success and happiness.
