The school spirit in Hinsdale Central is uplifting and clearly evident throughout the halls. The positive energy of football games and spirit days makes students happy and gives them something to reflect over. I love the construction in the school that allows students to easily navigate the hallways, however I do think we could add more bathrooms in some areas because some students have to walk a larger distance than they should have to. In addition, there should be a variety in options in terms of languages so students can take Mandarin, Urdu, and Arabic and more. In addition, we should add more art in the hallways.
Hinsdale Central High School is a great place for students to grow academically, socially, and personally. The teachers here are excellent and push you past your limits. The classes are challenging, and sometimes they make you want to quit. However, you’ll reap immense benefits if you just stick through it. The only thing I would change about this school is for the guidance counselors to believe more in their students. Generally speaking, the counselors at this school are wonderful, intelligent, and very helpful. However, some of them tend to doubt their students or only help students who come from affluent or otherwise prestigious backgrounds.
