New Britain HighSchool provides students with amazing classes ranging from accelerated to UCONN ECE, as well as a variety of after school clubs, and extracurriculars like the Golden Hurricane Marching band. The teachers are well chosen to bring you far in knowledge as well as be a nurturing companion for those struggling. There are so many bright opportunities and futures to be pursued through New Britain High School however they do have some faults. Lots of fighting breaks out between students here, explicit behavior, and disgusting exchange between student and teachers. It is also not the cleanest school in New Britain, maybe not a janitorial Issue but rather the students themselves. This school has so much character, but it is at the stake of how their students display it.
I loved going to New Britain High because it really set me up for college. I am graduating college a semester early thanks to the opportunities the school offered. The guidance counselors and teachers love what they do and are there to support you. My favorite memories are from band, that is what makes me bleed maroon and gold for life!
New Britain high is a very diverse school whose ways of confronting such diversity is very welcoming. I started the school my sophomore year and I very much liked it. It has great sport teams and amazing teachers who are there for students academically and even sometimes are ears to personal problems when they are needed to be. Although the school can be academically better, it mostly depends on the seriousness of the students, as said earlier they have great teachers. One thing I would like to change about the school is the food that is served and the lack of proper, cool water. Although their sports teams are great, there is a tendency to favoring specific sports to others. For instance football and basketball are highly favored while track and soccer for instance, not so much. If I could change anything about the school, it would be that proper and good tasting food and water is provided to every student. And every sport would get the recognition they deserve.
