I enjoyed my time at Elkhart memorial, I feel like it really prepared me for college! I attended this school for 4 years and although there might have been some hiccups here and there I really enjoyed the time I spent at this school. The culture and diversity are decent, although the food is not the best :) The sports were always fun to enjoy and the mangy games really made it fun!
Going into high school is not simple in fact it can be pretty scary. However, the special characteristic that Elkhart Memorial has is the community. It is not just the teachers who get long but the students have a strong sense of family. The relationships between teachers and students leaves one feeling like they actually have a home. The inclusion that is available at this school appears to be strong. Even then it is still important to note that even the best of schools have their flaws. For example often times students feel alone or at loss for whatever reason. Easily a student should think of a person or place that can help them when trouble arrises. Usually school or an adult at school comes to mind. However, resources here can seem short. It is important for schools to not only focus on the academic/athletic side of school but the personal/mental health of students. It would make a great difference if Memorial focused on personal enrichment as well.
When you attend Elkhart Memorial High School, you learn a lot, you meet so many people and get a lot of new friends. Outside of doing school work you have a good time in the classrooms, all the students are very helpful when you need it and they are always there to just talk to. With the teachers and administration, a lot of them are very involved with the students, they are there when you just need to talk to someone or need help even if it's not school related. Everyone at Elkhart Memorial High School is great and you are mostly always having a good time and getting the right help that you need to be successful.
