It was an incredible facility. I loved every second of it. Each teacher offered that which is rare in the education setting: respect. Their love for their job and their students is unparelled by all. Similarly, the halls radiate with friendship. From my experience at other schools, the East Grand Rapids community cannot be matched. Friendships are inevitable.
To say that I am prepared for college is an understatement. I am eager to enter a more difficult academic scene and utilize all that I was taught in my wonderful four years in the heart of East Grand Rapids. There were ample oppurtunities to expand myself and diversify my interests while maintaining a strict academic scope. I was president of numerous clubs, the founder of more than 3, and a member of at least 10 clubs. I am so proud of my school.
The athletics are unmatched. With the most state championships in the state of Michigan, it is evident that athletics are a focus of the community. In all, this school saved my life.

There are many appealing factors about East Grand Rapids High School: the athletics, the phenomenal teachers, the rigorous courses. However, that does not mean that it comes without flaws. Its lack of diversity is disappointing and the lack of the district's support for its students and teachers is also concerning. Their response to the coronavirus pandemic endangered students and the school is arguably more concerned about its reputation than the safety of its students.
The thing I would like to see changed is I wish that there were more diversity and less emphasis on going to college. I think the school should provide other options and take an in-depth study of the other routes you can take after high school. However, I think I received a very high-quality education. Teachers push you to do your hardest and most are willing to help if it is needed. There is a lot of opportunity for extracurricular activities in any interest a person may have. East Grand Rapids High School has a great community and lots of funding. It is in a beautiful location, right next to reeds lake. I enjoyed my time in EGRHS.
