Wolfson offers their students an abundance of resources to prepare their students for college, such as numerous volunteer opportunities and so much more. The staff are just as passionate about their student's success as well. The only thing I would like to change is the food as there are not many options especially healthy ones. I would also like for the diversity of the school to change. I felt a little out of place at times at this school as it was a predominantly white school so I didn't to meet many people that were like me. Despite I believe that Samuel W. Wolfson high-school is a great school to attend.
Some things I love about Wolfson High School are its ability to create a space for students to learn and thrive while growing with one another, becoming adults that are prepared to succeed later in their lives. I love the teachers, every extracurricular activity I am involved in, and my classmates (each of these making up the reason I love waking up and going to school every weekday). Ideally, I would be with my closest friends everyday, but I think the diversity of people allows for real social skills to grow and flourish in each individual, truly making Wolfson unlike any other high school I know, and definitely my favorite school I've had the privilege of attending.
Wolfson is a small tight knit school, that has an abundance of clubs and activities for everyone. Wolfson is like the underdog high school of Duval county, lots of people don't know about it but most people that graduate from the school are highly successful. The school offers AP, IB, and Dual enrollment classes for those interested. I can personally say that classes have helped a great deal with my life and education, and are preparing me for college and future adventures.
