Being at Lakeville South Highschool, brings a lot of great energy at festival in the school. Where as it's a school where diversity tend to be. Being here not only showed me how great the teacher are but it showed me that everyone in the school cares about how you feel as a person! Being an African American who moved from a different school during sophomore year. I can tell you personally that when I moved here, I was an introvert but being here made me and extrovert. People here create an environment where you feel safe, loved, wanted, and most importantly needed. The family and culture at Lakeville South is unbelievable, meaning everyone is part of something in the school. One last important thing that made me realize how great this school was when I had no idea about how to be ready for college but with the help of my deans, teachers,friends and family they have a system where they want EVERYONE to succeed no matter what race or gender you are.
When I entered high school, I didn't imagine I would enjoy it as much as I currently do. Many of the teachers I have had are wonderful: They are funny, caring, and respectful. I have never felt enthusiastic about subjects taught in school until I had certain teachers. They helped me understand that learning can be fun. I've also created close friendships at this school. Overall, my experiences here have been more delightful than the experiences I've had at past schools. Something that I would like Lakeville South to improve on, though, is their art department. A lot of the funds are more focused on performing arts and sports, which is understandable since that is something to be prideful about, but the art department has declined in quality as the years pass by. It's likely partly due to the lack of art teachers. I think art is an under-appreciated subject, so I'd like it if the department gets more attention.
I have absolutely loved my time at Lakeville south. The staff is amazing, as they genuinely care about their students. If I ever needed anything, I always knew I could talk to any person in the school about it. I also got an amazing education. The teachers were absolutely amazing!
