My overall experience at a Wake County High School was that the learning environment was very reliable to where I am now and being on a varsity cheer team, has taught me that sportsmanship is always important and to take my discipline with me everywhere I went. Whereas, the education was sometimes a little more of what the school system wanted us to learn. Being an African-American young woman, I would always think that my backgrounds in the culture I came from would be more relevant to learn, just like many other cultures that were heavily taught and a requirement to learn. I feel as if the diversity in sports team were also a huge factor that I could have taken from. I did want to experience a culture shock when I was in Wake County, coming from Granville, County, however, being there just felt the same to me, whereas the learning environment seemed the same and that not many people looked like me in sports I’ve seen were played. Fortunately I succeeded my learning and graduated!
Wake County Schools provided me with incredible opportunities when I was in attendance. Coming out of homeschool and into a public high school, I did not know what to expect. Thankfully, I got more than I could ask for. I had particularly rich instruction in music, which I keep using to this day! Although teachers could have been given more resources at their disposal, they certainly did well with what they had. Ultimately, quality education is what I received. Many teachers invest a lot in their students at a great sacrifice. Thank you for all you do, Wake County!
I have had the best learning experience from my MS to HS education. Through Wake county teachers I have had a great orientation not only in academics, but also in areas such as volunteering, social working, and how to choose my future career and the right college to pursue my dreams. I am very thankful with Wake county for providing the best digital resources, a variety of clubs, and facilities for me and my classmates, these really makes the difference in our learning experience. Thank you Wake County for all you have provided for me and all of us to guarantee an amazing academic experience!
