Just about every teacher I had during my four years at GOHS were extremely passionate and talented. The administration impressively remembered my name even though I was introverted/quiet; not to mention the fact that I was one of thousands of students. The school spirit as well was something else there! A couple years after I graduated I remember seeing a viral video of one of our football games with the caption "I wish this was my high school." I quickly realized that it was GOHS! So GOHS is certainly a great high school whether one is looking for a high quality academic, athletic, or simply a fun experience.
It is a great environment and has a class or club for any interest! No two teachers teach the same; now that may sound strange but it allows for students that have different learning styles to find the perfect fit for them. All the students are fun and even the students that come from other states or even countries can find friends that will stick by their side throughout high school. The school offers different levels/difficulties for multiple subjects that allows for students to learn at a pace for them and not be slowed down or pushed to far. They do tend to try and push every student to take AP or IB classes, even when the students and their family believe it is not a great fit for the student. The athletics are also well known, we have many highly ranked programs and all the teams have fun together while they work hard. The main thing many college students tend to say is that they did not feel fully ready for college but they did feel prepared to work hard because of Great Oak.
Being a senior at Great Oak I have found my time there to be nothing but unique. With a population of more than 3600+ including faculty members there is never nothing going around campus. There is an abundance of opportunities including but not limited to joining or creating clubs, being apart of our on campus sports, being in a highlighly engaging academic environment and always being challenged by our peers on a daily basis. With this being such a big campus there are some concerns as well. I found that the class sizes were very big averaging about 35 to 1 ratio of students to teachers, this made it sometimes difficult to establish a relationship with them especially if your enrolled in a semester course. There also isn't a lot of diversity on campus, meaning things can come off very one sided and can spark up lots of controversy when given the chance. I have enjoyed my four years at this school amidst covid and distant learning, from the sporting events to the interesting courses.
