There are so many clubs at this school! I am in so many its had to keep count! We have a lot of community service clubs at our school which is amazing because we can help out the community and a lot of students get involved in that. Our school is very open about students creating their own club to help with the school and add new fresh ideas to the school! With these clubs the teachers who sponsor them are very involved and help out a lot with the planning that goes into it. The administration will help with anything if it benefits the student body! In student council we having meetings every week with our principal and we will start having meetings every month with our superintendent to help them connect more with the students. I am in chemistry bob, delta tri sigma, mu alpha theta, National honors society, junior civilian, spanish club, show choir, student council, and that is just a few I can name.
Review Huntsville High School
There are a few teachers in my school that are amazing! I have had great teachers over the past 4 years I have been t Huntsville high school. But before the start of my 11th grade year most all of my teachers left or retired. This was hard on all of the students because teachers that were amazing had left, and not so good ones where brought in. There are some teachers at my school that are teaching a subject that they have never studied! All of my teachers teach in the lecture style which is not always great to us students. The grading scale is all the same for every single teacher which makes it hard if some students are really bad test takers can't ever catch up with homework or classwork. My entire school system is on computers so the communication is great if the teacher looks at her email and or edmodo.
Huntsville High School is a variation between good and bad. It really depends on luck, but overall I would say that the teachers are pretty good and we constantly have security guards circling around so it feels very safe. There is not much diversity, but the school spirit can easily make up for it!
