I have had an overall good experience throughout my high school years. Having attended Sheldon High since freshman year I know a lot about the way Sheldon functions. Athletes are highlighted within the school because we are known to have some of the best sports teams in the districts. Football especially is what the school revolves around. While this is good concerning school spirit, the stigma around male athletes is all too positive. This being said the other students involved in programs such as theater and clubs aren't represented as much. Creating this divide between those who partake in sports and those who do not isn't particularly healthy for the school atmosphere, but isn't noticed by the administration. Teachers are usually pretty helpful and are good mentors to look up to, but there are some that are simply unprofessional and treat classes differently based on their liking of the students.
Sheldon has an amazing sports program for those who play varsity sports and the football games are a huge event among the student body. However the junior varsity teams and the music/arts programs are definitely not receiving the same level of funds and attention. At Sheldon there are a large variety of courses and plans for students, whether is be Honors and AP classes or IEP, making it so everyone can succeed at their own level. Although, the strictness and fairness of the teachers at Sheldon varies wildly, often making the difficulty of the class you're planning to take become a gamble between which teacher you get placed with.
Sheldon High School was a school that took sports first and academic's last. The environment and culture surrounding the school was that of Caucasian rich families. It was rare to find someone who valued my morals.
Though the exterior of the enrolled students were poor, the interior programs and teachers were excellent. I was taking the international High School program (IHS) on top of my generic education requirements. The teachers in the IHS program were excellent in preparing their students for real world situations and choices. It was transparent to students on what they taught about the world around us, besides the small classroom, and gave a greater perspective for my own self growth.
