Empire is my second home. It is a place where I feel comfortable enough to be myself and experience genuine happiness. Yes, I am genuinely happy at school! Surprising, I know. The clean and cozy campus, the enthusiastic and level-headed principal, the fun and exciting activities and the small student population are some of my favorite things about Empire. The reason why I give it only four stars is because my only dislike is that I have had problems with some of the teachers. However, disregarding the teaching staff, I love this school.
Empire is a great, smaller school that has a lot of opportunities in the arts and vocational professions. The staff are very friendly and joke around with the students, and the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. Not necessarily the most technologically advanced school, but they do great with what they have!
Empire is truly an amazing school. There is so much community and the teachers really care about their students. We are most known for the drama program here, but we excel in many other things too. Our school has amazing school spirit, and an off the charts photography program, and pretty good athletic programs. In the three years, I have attended, I have never seen a community grow as much as we have. This year a student was diagnosed with cancer, and our school has put together with immense efforts and has helped to raise over $35,000 for him and his family. As a school and as a community, there is nowhere else I would rather attend.
