I enjoyed many of my classes at EMHS, and the teachers are very supportive of my endeavors. From my experience, they are willing to take time out of their day to help you grow as a student and properly understand the curriculum. The AP and honors courses were stimulating and challenged me in a plethora of ways. I also learned how to be a proper leader and work efficiently with my fellow classmates, which will definitely benefit me in college! My only complaint is that the school is short on textbooks, so studying in the library can be a challenge.
El Monte High School is a school where all the teachers and administrators are willing to do good for their students. They give us the chance to prepare for college by giving us courses that are for college readiness. There are a variety of sports and clubs to participate in. Some sports are cross country, volleyball, football, soccer, basketball, baseball, and track and field. Some clubs are UNICEF, M.E.Ch.A, CSF, Link Crew, Leos, Laurels, and NHS where there occur a lot of student involvement, academics, and leadership. The teachers and administrations commit to a safe learning environment, at the school, and now virtually. Students can easily talk to most teachers and have a good student-teacher relationship since they are really friendly. Overall, El Monte High School is a great school because of the staff, teachers, administrators, and students.
I enjoy how everyone minds their own business. You can be yourself at school. There's always going to be people that judge you, but seeing other students be themselves gives me the confidence to be myself. I'd like to see all clubs get recognition. The only clubs/sports that get recognition are football and cheer and leos and laurels who I personally feel like don't make a positive impact on the school. I think that each club should get their own page in the yearbook instead of just a little picture of the members of the clubs all the way at the back of the book. If sports get to have their own page, why can't clubs? Students enjoy sports and get to be themselves in sports, but who said that those in clubs didn't feel that way about their club?
