My school is a private college prep high school. It has many opportunities for all students to join many different clubs and activities. The teachers are very involved with the school and students. It is a rather small school which has the advantage of a small student -teacher ratio. The teachers are familiar with all of the students and know them all by name. Our school has the most awesome school secretaries!

The activities I participated in at OLSH is what made high school fun for me. My freshman year I did the spring musical and I made lots of friends that are still some of my closest friends. I played volleyball all four years and lettered on varsity as well. My junior year my team qualified for states. Olsh definitely has its ups and downs, but my friends are for sure what keep me going everyday.
The last four years I have spent at OLSH have been an interesting time. Coming in as a freshman I felt as though I was adequately integrated into the high school scene, but this integration pretty quickly faded and I found myself working and achieving through my own merit as opposed to being catered to all of the time. This has proven to be useful because personal drive has led me to succeed in standardized tests, applications, etc. There is a variety of well-equipped teachers and seemingly under-prepared teachers, in whose class again one must have the drive to teach themselves. Athletics were competitive and enjoyable, as well as the club opportunities the school has to offer. Some of the administration and staff seemed as though they did not help much, nor did I necessarily feel entirely prepared for my college search, for their preparation presentations came far too late to be of substantial use.
