What I like about my school is the environment, education, and involvement opportunities. Students and teachers are very friendly, positive, and encouraging. Many education classes are offered for students to explore their field of interests and some are even helpful to prepare you for college, such as AP courses and AVID. There are over hundreds of clubs on campus as well that you can choose from and some may be the right fit for you! What I dislike is the food and I would prefer more nutritious and healthy options that can be easily affordable for those who receive a lower income. Also, my school still portrays a lack of diversity as a lot of minorities, asians and blacks, are still being bullied and looked down upon by other students.
my experience at King High School was amazing! The atmosphere of the students was very encouraging. The staff is very helpful and always there willing to help you. Especially the teachers are always there to talk to about anything. The one thing that I would suggest changing is the cleanliness of the campus, there is a lot of trash due to students not picking up after themselves. This school is passionate about academics. They may not have the best sports team but a big portion of funding does got to sports instead of the classroom.
If you put yourself out there, it will be very easy to feel welcomed and love the school! There are plenty of clubs to be involved in, and if none of them match your interests, there is no reason you cannot make a new club that you are passionate about! Personally, I have been involved in ASB all four years and ave had one of the best high school experiences. I have found people who have come to be great friends. It's all about surrounding yourself with people you enjoy.
