I spent multiple years at EHS, and I believe that they are a good, if not great school. The way that their junior and senior classes are taught prepares you well for the culture of learning in college. They have very kind administrators and office staff who are almost always available to help. Their theater and choir programs are off the charts in giving real experience that will help people who want to become involved in theater or singing in the future. The EHS theater department is especially good in providing stagecraft and soundwork experience. The school also provides a good variety of math programs. The school made a great choice in switching from trimesters to semesters, as its honors courses were suffering greatly under the time crunch of a trimester. The experience of higher learning classes has greatly improved. There are a lot of clubs available in EHS, so there is something for anyone in that regard. And the schools facilities are top notch.
Overall a lot of it was what you would expect from a high school. There were great teachers that taught me a lot about not only their subject but life. On the other hand, there was a fair share of teachers I could have gone without. There was a wide variety of students from different races, genders, and sexualities. They also had a lot of clubs and activities as well as dual credit opportunities with local colleges. Opportunities to participate in a variety of sports from football to golf. We are one of the only schools in the country to offer a glassblowing class. However, there were a lot of issues with kids smoking, doing drugs, and drinking. We had to go into lockdowns more than we should have had for shooting threats. And there were some pretty messed up things that happened that were swept under the rug by the administration. Overall it wasn't all terrible I made good friends and memories, though there is plenty of things about how the school is run that could be worked out.
Emporia High School is low budget so it’s not like I can expect a tall glass building with cushioned chairs for desks and high quality meals with sport uniforms that actually fit. Though I feel the main authority of the school really lacks in giving their students what they need. They are extremely irresponsible when it comes to being safe in the peak of a pandemic and are horribly hypocritical when it comes to restrictions. Most are very rude and are not flexible to students needs. And don’t even get me started on the lack of inclusion and equality-the constant occurrence of hate acts whether it is racism, homophobia, or flat out rape, the school’s authorities seem to “have their hands tied”. I have so many issues regarding the school, but I do enjoy some of my teachers and the classes the school has provided that other schools do not give.
