Poston Butte is filled with teachers with priorities that don’t usually include their students’ well-being. There are teachers that don’t care about your future, but there are a few teachers that stand out, because they care. Most of the teachers I’ve had care enough, but few care so much. These few have fought me further than I could imagine, and will continue to help me prosper, because that’s what their priority is. It isn’t the school that’s helping me, it’s those few teachers that will go above and beyond for me. Poston Butte is lucky to have them.
I just graduated from Poston Butte on Thursday day and I gotta say this school had it's ups and downs but overall it's a great school. I was fortunate enough to have fantastic teachers all fours years ,each of them helping me expand my knowledge and grow my confidence. The facilities aren't that great but we get by, it's not entirely the schools fault. The administration and staff always try to make the best out of any situation that was thrown our way. My sister is know going to attend Poston as a freshman and I know they will take care of her and guide her to the right path for a great future.
I have been involved throughout my 4 years attending Poston Butte High School. I have had many good experiences with being apart of the cheer team, company dance, and starting my own fashion club. The experiences with other students and teachers within these activities have been good yet there is one major thing that needs to change to better programs within the school, which is the funding that goes into these programs. The school has no money to contribute to the art programs within the school. Money that is put into the programs are from students. If we had more funding these programs wold achieve so much more. The school doesn't only have no money for these programs yet there is not the proper materials needed to succeed, for example theater and dance programs have no auditorium. We have a space and a plan for one yet they still have not have the funding for the last ten years. If the school had the money and resources for these programs the school would improve tremendously.
