    "We Are Male High!". These words have been said to me so many times, at football games, on the announcements every morning, and in the hallways at schools. This school just oozes school spirit, especially after winning state this past year! I love Male High School so much because you always feel apart of something when your here. Everyone is actually so nice, no one wants to just be mean to others for no reason. We have a lot of diversity too, what I'm most proud of at my school is our BSU (black student union) and or GSA (gay-straight alliance) programs. We are growing in new ways everyday, and I'm gong to miss this place with all of my heart.

    I absolutely loved my experience! The people I met and the times I shared changed me. The school spirit was something I have never seen at any high school before. As far as I know were the only one that go out in the hallways every week to sing our school song! And with absolute pride of course. Every person that’s come to Male has let it been known because it’s a good name to stand by. Now I’m glad that I’ll be able to say that I went to Male High School, one of Kentucky’s oldest and most spirited schools.
    Male has some amazing teachers (which outweigh the few not-so-amazing ones) that completely prepare you for college! The atmosphere at Male is like no other and there’s always a sense of family among the students, even if you don’t like everyone there. The homework and the tests are hard, but it will all be worth it when you get to college and you feel like the smartest kid in the room. As many times as I’ve complained about things over the course of my four years at Male, it is truly The High School.
