A really great school, it helped build up my professional portfolio and gave every student the opportunity to have a peek at what kinds of careers there are to choose from! Practicing interviews also known as the students' "Portfolio Days" guided us on what to do and expect for interviews in a professional setting, which honestly helped me to get my first job after my junior year! Besides that, I loved the medical academy they have because the teachers who specify in teaching medical-related subjects have had experience working in the field. Another thing about Duncan that's pretty cool was the AFJROTC program, if I wouldn't have joined it I wouldn't be as social and semi-leaderlike as I am today. My only problem with the school was the favoritism behavior in the school with teachers towards a few students, which honestly wasn't fair. And I would love if we had more clubs and sports, but I understood since it was a polytechnical school.
So far what I've experienced at Duncan Polytechnical High School is only positive this school has a very easy going vibe. This school is very diverse and I feel that I have learned about many cultures just by attending this school. Although the work can be very difficult the teachers are always there to help and will go out of their way to ensure their students clearly understand the curriculum and lessons. The teachers and counselors are also there to ensure that you feel safe at school and that everyone no matter their background,gender,and/or race. There is also many fun events that students organize themselves, I personally enjoyed homecoming and hope to attend more events in the future.
I honesty really liked my experience here and I plan to continue on and graduate here. I made all my current friends here and people are really friendly. Same goes for the teachers although some can be very strict, it does not take away that they are really good people that just care about you. Personally they have made me feel prepared for college and hopefully come out of high school as a certified personal trainer too. They have many programs where students get certified for their professions and get to get involved in a lot of hands on experiences. There are a few clubs here at duncan and during lunch at the beginning of school, the clubs go.to the gym and show off what they have to offer. And for sports, there's not many but they allow you to play for other schools. Duncan for the most part is a small school but that is what makes it unique because many incoming students get along well with staff, students, and their classes.
