Elder High School Reviews

Elder High School has been the best choice I have ever made. The teacher's are invested in each student. They interact with each student whether it is on an academic level, as an advisor or extra-curricular mentor. Elder High School for me is tradition. My family has been involved since the beginning. Rev. Schoenhoft, who started the 9th grade at St Lawrence that later became Elder is my grandmother's uncle. Tradition is part of what keeps Elder so great. The other part is our Alumni. They support us in everything we do. I have learned more than just academics. I have learned leadership, acceptance and brotherhood.

My experience at Elder has been one to remember! My critique will be one of athletics in nature, because I have learned a lot about myself during my involvement in athletics at Elder High School. I have played football, wrestling, swimming, and volleyball. All offered unique opportunities, from playing in a nationally recognized football stadium to winning the state volleyball championship this past year. Being a part of a team has made me respect those players on and off the court and being a team that comes together to overcome obstacles is a truly rewarding experience.
I have been involved with many programs, clubs, and sports at Elder High School, including volleyball, tennis, the ping pong club, forming the t-shirt club, numerous community service opportunities, and the national honors society. I have also been an honor role student each year of my career at Elder. This school has done a great job in preparing me for college for the most part, but some of the teachers do not care or simply do not do a good enough job in preparing you for the class requirements or college.
