I've had a really good experience at Emmaus High School! I've had countless opportunities for the things I'm interested in, including the school newspaper (through which I have participated in three journalism conferences, won an award in a contest, and gotten lots of good experience for my future career in journalism), the art-literary magazine, the world language programs, and multiple other clubs and activities. The school offers classes on every possible subject, so it's sometimes difficult to choose between different classes to take. The faculty and staff are wonderful, and always work to build connections with the students. I've made so many lasting connections and friendships with my teachers and peers at Emmaus, and had an amazing experience these past 4 years overall.
I really loved my experience at EHS, I found the teachers and students to be very kind and friendly. The school is extremely big, but the teachers and the administration help handle the big change of scenery. I’ve made very close relationships with many of my teachers and met so many new people. The thing I wish the school would change is; the layout of the school. The school is very large so it is hard to navigate, so having a better numbering system for the rooms would be beneficial. For example room 600 may be across the school from room 601. I also believe with 2,000 plus students attending EHS, the gymnasium should be larger so it can fit more people.
I am a current junior at Emmaus and so far my experience has been fairly successful. I love the clubs, activities, and all around school spirit Emmaus has (especially during football season)! However, academically, I have found a few issues with some of my past teachers and find that college readiness at our school is not a subject that is talked about often.
