Olathe East Sr High School held plenty of diversity. At East there were various ethnic and religious groups that gave the school a different culture. The teachers, overall, were willing to help their students with any and everything needed. Most teachers wanted to see their students succeed after their class and in real-world life. The sports programs at Olathe East were fair compared to others in the school district. Basketball was always interesting to watch! Some changes I would like to see at Olathe East is more diversity within the school's spirit weeks, sport's game themes, and the staff. I would love to see a more diverse spirit week line up including different cultures. I, also, would like to see a more diverse faculty/staff within our school.
Olathe East High School is an amazing school that offers many more opportunities than I have seen other high schools offer. It is very fortunate in its art departments; with a high funding theatre program and art rooms the size of three classrooms, it gives the opportunity to express yourself. With many clubs and extracurriculars it is very easy to get involved and start a list of activities to add on your transcript. Olathe East is home to three 21st Century Academies: 4-year programs that provide learning experience and job shadowing for secondary education and/or the career path that you plan on taking after high school. The Academies that are home to Olathe East include Future Educators, Civic leadership, and Design Academy. It is an amazing school with great faculty and staff as well as curriculum. The only negative comment to be said is that my experienced was somewhat suffocated by rebellious kids who took away some freedom for the rest of the school.
Olathe East operates at a level above the stereotypical "public school standard." The staff at Olathe East are exceptional! They're all approachable, dedicated and eager to help their students learn more. There's an abundance of extra curricular programs including sports, honor societies, political groups, STEM clubs, performing arts - whatever you love, you can do! The school also supports a very positive and encouraging environment to engage the student body. Varsity sports are very intense; but, that makes games fun for everyone (not just people in the stands, but also cheerleaders, the marching band and drill team). Olathe East is a quality, enjoyable, above average public high school!
