Overall White Plains High School offers all resources necessary for students to succeed, from extra academic help to college readiness, even with help at home from guidance counselors and teachers. Everyone is supportive and no one is every judged. Besides this, White Plains High School could improve on there safety, especially during times involving the Covid 19 pandemic.
As a graduate of White Plains High school, I take much pride in this school and I think it prepared me for the educational level in college.The different advanced classes and the support of teachers, either by helping at lunch or after school, were very helpful in learning the content and making that everyone reached their potential.Also, different clubs, activities like spirit week, and sports made that everyone felt included and join in the pride of being a tiger (which is the school animal). The staff, especially the counselors, were supportive when we had doubts about the future, which for me was very often.
Just graduated this year and not being able to have the senior experience was very hard. Not just for me, but for my family to be able to see me receive my diploma in front of everyone.It was a year in where the school, attaining the health measurements, gave us that encouragement by organizing car parades or writing to us to help us begin that new chapter in our lives.

White Plains is a very diverse district where I was able to learn about different cultures and traditions just by talking to my classmates. I believe this prepared me for the real world. I was also able to become proud of my religion and was always excited to explain what Jewish holidays were to my friends. If I could change anything about my school district it would be the ability to change teachers in the high school. Every student has a different learning style and different teachers are known to clique with different learning styles. There are some teachers that are good teachers but not the right fit for teaching certain students. If a student does not clique with a teacher, it is beneficial to switch them to another teacher.
