The beginning of high school was difficult for me, I was struggling with severe depression and anxiety. Even though my time as an underclassman was difficult, it was made so much easier because of the amazing staff we have. I openned up to my counselor about the problems I was facing and he was nothing but helpful. To this day we still maintain a wonderful friendship and I go visit him as often as I can. Along with Mr. Bedolla, there are so many teachers that deeply care about the success of their students. They are the reason I did well in school. So many of my teachersmade themselves available in and even out of school to help their students wiht materials. Just to name a few, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Seyka, Mrs. Topp, Mr. Akers, Mr. Harrell, Mrs. McCaffery and plenty of others do amazing work for the students at ELHS and I am incredibly proud to be an alumni of such a wonderful school.

East Lansing High School is a very culturally diverse school. Everyone is there to help each other out and there isn't a socially competitive atmosphere. There can be an unhealthy attitude towards striving for the best grades, test scores, and success in general, but at the end of the day everyone is there to do their best. There is an array of many different and interesting activities and extracurriculars to participate in, and there is always something to do.
