I’m currently a senior at Enka high school. I don’t think I would change my high school experience, administration is very considerate and caring of students and my teachers have pushed me academically but are concerned for my wellbeing. Enka is working hard to ensure that ALL students receive a quality education to prepare them for life after high school, not only it’s high fliers. Forever proud to be a jet!
Enka is a very accepting school with very excellent teachers who understand the fundamental importance of learning over grades. They work with you to gain a higher GPA for the class as well as having high expectations of you, as a student to come to them when you need help. One of my teacher's told many stories in her class and subconsciously let us learn the value in our own stories. That within our writing we must decorate and write in our own style. Just like high school! There are struggles and stereotypes, its still high school after all. However, as individuals, we involve ourselves in our community and together make it a welcoming school.
Enka High School has a fantastic art program, which has provided me with many close friends. I am also involved in student government, here at Enka, and that has given me a creative outlet to help people and work hard to make the school a better place. The teachers are also fantastic, and have been wonderful in this crazy year of hybrid, by making sure that all their students are understanding the material as well as checking in on us to make sure we are ok and have everything we need to be successful.
