The school's motto is 'showing pride, taking action' and it is lived up to every day. The teachers are dedicated to educate support every student who walks through the doors at EPJ (even the most challenged students are greatly helped). The faculty and staff members create a safe and clean learning environment throughout each school year. Students are made sure to feel welcomed by taking frequent surveys, answering questions, and adding input on what they feel should the school to show and act. Elk Point-Jefferson School District outshines other schools and set the bar high!
I like Elk Point-Jefferson High School because it is a very clean and well-kept school. The reason I didn't give it the full five stars is because I believe that the students should be given more freedom. For example, juniors and seniors, who take online dual credit classes, should be able to stay at home during that specific period. This will make for a shorter amount of time spent in the physical school building, and it will result in focused class time. I believe this change will help students focus because sometimes all we need is a change in scenery in order to get back into the learning mindset. The best way to get students to focus is to give them a mental break. Otherwise, the students feel trapped for eight hours with no other choice other than to sit, listen, and hopefully retain information. The other positive this change would bring is preparedness for college. It will help students understand the importance of time management.
Elk Point Jefferson High School is an amazing school. The schools staff work hard to provide success to each student who walks through the door. The teachers are completely dedicated to the students and their success. Not only are they dedicated, they are also very caring and will discuss any problems you are experiencing in a class. The athletic coaches are very committed and caring as well. They push athletes hard in order for them to see how hardworking and dedicated they actually are. High school at Elk Point-Jefferson can be hard at times due to grades and other activities, but the hard times have taught all students how to be the best they can be; Elk Point-Jefferson high school is truly setting everyone up for success.
