    This is a great school with excellent teachers and awesome school spirit! There are lots of clubs and sports that you can join. The teachers do a fantastic job of preparing students to attend college, for the most part (there's always some teacher that isn't that great at any school).

    One aspect of Redmond High School that I found most appealing was the acceptance of others, and the surprisingly low rates of bullying or discrimination. I found that there were no "cliques" in our school, and anyone could be friends with anyone. Another was the diversity in our school - racial, ethnic, linguistic, and even political. It really created a welcoming environment that was accepting of others. Perhaps one thing I'd like to change would be the low school spirit at assemblies, football games, and events. Many Redmond students are reluctant to take part in school spirit events, and this really shows during assemblies and matches. I'd really like to see a more unified school with much more school pride.
    My experience at Redmond High School has been a very special one. I entered this school as a shy, uninvolved student, still stuck in a middle school mentality. I didn't understand the value of hard work or pushing myself, and my peers were surpassing me in all areas. As I continued throughout my freshman year of high school, I was awakened to all of the opportunities surrounding me academically and socially. Luckily for me, Redmond High School provided a wide variety of opportunities, and the people involved were all very welcoming. After four years at Redmond, I truly feel like I have received the best education. I have pushed myself academically to try and keep up with my peers, while also having a great social life due to the diversity and inclusiveness of the community, and my involvement of sports and clubs.
