I believe I had a better public high school experience than the average high schooler/high school graduate today because my district has a considerable amount of money (for example, everyone had access to a school-issued iPad). I had resources at my disposal that other school districts don't offer. I liked my school activities- our music program offers a lot to do, and I had some really great experiences with it. However, the public school system is extremely flawed, and PLHS is no exception. Students today are expected to constantly be thinking about or working at school, whether they're at school or not. The amount of pressure put on students is ridiculous, and PLHS is an active participant in this culture of overworking students. Also, PLHS is racist. Since I'm white, this didn't directly affect me, but it did/does harm my BIPOC peers, and the culture at this school doesn't encourage anti-racism. This problem isn't unique to PLHS, you'll find it in U.S. schools everywhere.
Overall, I had a good experience at prior lake highschool. My teachers established average connections with me and I was involved in many clubs and activities throughout school. My guidance counselour was always especially helpful and helped me to create schedules that helped me to excel. The biggest downfall of my school was the college readiness portion. I felt as though it was an environment that didn’t allow me to make my own decisions as often as I would like. Overall, every year they asked students what they wanted to see differently and most times we would see that change through more construction, our laker time which built in extra time to d homework and get help, and better food choices. I enjoyed my time as a student here!
I am fortunate to have been a classmate of Prior Lake Class of 2021. With all that we endured our jr and sr year our class stayed positive, focused and thrived. Our incredible staff of teacher's and faculty were there for us throughout those tough times. Proud to be a Laker!
