Mount Tahoma's administration is fantastic, and they are always willing to help students. T-Birds' commitment to making a positive difference in the community is admirable and should be commended. The staff constantly goes out of their way to make people feel welcome, and I believe they succeed admirably. On the other hand, everything has drawbacks, and Mount Tahoma is no exception. Students can be cruel, and I believe that there should be more discussion about bullying both in person and on social media. Furthermore, I believe that having more people express their stories and speak with students, such as Erin Jones, would be good. It's reassuring to know that there are grownups out there who understand what you're going through, and I believe students would appreciate it.
I’m a senior at mount tahoma will be graduate 2021 June 15. I started mount tahoma as a freshman and at first I didn’t know many people and activities at school, by time I start to make friends and talk to them I figure that there are some sport that I enjoy doing and many cultures event I can involved in during my high school year I don’t really like the food but it not that bad either. I like mostly is how teacher are really nice but strict sometime when students aren’t listening but that doesn’t affect me since I’m mostly quiet in school or class. I like how multi-cultural events are the most joyful event of all that mount tahoma have with many differents cultures we experience a lot of fun and happiness together with everyone as a family no one is different. What I would like to see in the next few years coming back to visit is teachers are still there and students are nice and friendly as it was.
Beginning my freshman year I was excited to attend Mount Tahoma High school. I had heard of so many negative things about the school but those rumors were soon forgotten as I stepped foot inside and got a glimpse of our school spirit. Everybody seemed to enjoy our school and had so much pride and spirit, especially for assemblies when everyone was together. Along with the spirit there is alot of diversity. Walking through the halls of Mt.T is pleasing to the eyes being that there is so much color, diversity, different cultures and so much more!
Although our pride and spirit was great as I was a freshman, it has gone down massively since then. The under classmen of Mount Tahoma today do not seem as excited as I and many other students of my class were when we were in their shoes. Due to their lack of excitement and eagerness our school spirit has decreased and this is discouraging. I hope that one day I will see that future students can become as proud of their school as I once was.
