At Raymond S. Kellis high school, I have had a wonderful experience inside the classroom, regardless of what teacher I had. However, the school itself could use more school spirit! Students, I have noticed, do not get excited when hearing about prom or home coming. Students do not participate in spirit weeks. Students are not welcoming to any foreign exchange students or new students in general. The buses are almost always late when dropping off students in the mornings, and even for educational purposes, we are not allowed to use our smartphones. Now, as a senior, I have begun to reflect on my time at this school- and realize that I have nothing special to really say about it. It was, in fact, just an average school to me.
What I admire most about RSK is how loving and caring some of the educators and staff are. So many unnoticed programs are also a huge contribution as to what makes this school so amazing. Programs like cougar town (which is a diversity camp held in Prescott), Best Buddies, Unified dance and sports, Marching band, sports, and countless clubs. There are an array of exciting and odd defying clubs around campus involving student council, DECA, Gay-Straight alliance, dance, culinary, Gaming clubs, culture clubs, and so much more. There is a club for everyone. Although the administration isn't the best and all the teachers aren't as equally awesome, there are a few amazing teachers who you will never forget. Many of the teachers are invested in helping you succeed in and outside of high school! All I can ask is to consider RSK as your student's new high school! Take a tour, meet current teachers, and attend one of the school events. I promise you and your student won't regret choosing RSK!
One special part of Kellis is the Unified program, which unites our General education students with our special education students in dance, sports, choir, and more. The arts program has wonderful teachers that are so supportive. Our student store is the best in the district and run by our DECA club, who help other clubs by loaning money interest-free. Our clubs in general are active and fun. The honors program is fairly good, and the general education core classes are okay. It depends on the teacher. Our electives are wonderful, and there are many to choose from. Our dance and culinary programs are wonderful and expansive, along with many other programs. Our administration is very involved, and generally good. They lack severely when it comes to responding to bullying, especially LGBTQ students. There is a consistent lack of care towards the safety of LGBTQ students. Some staff members are amazing, others are disruptive or uncomfortable. Its a mixed bag.
