Being at Johnston felt more than just going to school everyday, it was more of I get to go and see friends, have fun, learn new things, have so many new experiences, and more! The teachers there aren’t just there to teach you, but to be your friend and to make sure you succeed. Any problems you have they are more than willing to go out of their way to help you. The diversity and freeness of the school is always refreshing and always seems like I different kind of school experience than others get. There’s never a dull moment at Johnston!
Overall, I enjoyed the amount of extracurriculars and technology that my school had. I would not be the person that I am today had I not joined the JHS Black and White, which is the student run newspaper. I was able to build so many soft skills such as leadership, collaboration, and time management. I was also able to build a portfolio of my work to show future employers before I even got out of high school which I thought was pretty cool! I’m especially thankful for all of the friends I made and for my advisor, Leslie Shipp. She really pushed us to think outside of the box and be our best version of ourselves. I’m so lucky to have such an amazing mentor in my life. I would not be as prepared for the real world as I am today had I not been a part of the JHS Black and White. I’m so glad that my school had such a wonderful journalism department and publication available to students.
Best high school ever, graduating this month 05/23/21, got both my EMT certificate from DMACC through the high school and graduating from high school all at the same time. Duo credits offered, high school and college credits all for free....that's more than awesome, Take advantage of it. The teachers are great, they are very patient and are always ready to listen to any problem you have...just speak out and you will get the help you need!
