I really enjoyed my time at Stevens because being in a fairly small town, I found that most of my teachers really wanted to get to know me personally and help with my needs. They treated me like an actual human and not just another name on the roster. The only complaint about high school I would say is the cliques, but what high school doesn't have cliques? Oh yes, the homework too! Maybe that's just the seniorities talking. But for real, I was always pushed to do my very best throughout my high school years and I am so grateful to have received any sort of education. I am so ready for the amazing experiences college is going to bring though and I know it is going to be ten times better than high school!
Stevens High School has been an exceptional experience for me. Not only are the available academic courses challenging, they are also enriching in their information and course work. Stevens is not just about the academics, they offer a variety of clubs and associations to participate in. I chose to be a part of the FFA chapter at my school. Through FFA I was able to compete with my team at national level where my teammates and I placed fourth in the country. Not only has FFA taught me valuable things about agriculture, but I also was able to make friendships that I will have for the rest of my life. I also have taken AP classes and I am confident that the teachers are well qualified for teaching the course at a college level. There's nothing better than a Raider!
My experience at Stevens High School has been very good! I had many amazing teachers that helped me when i struggled but also were very great at what they did and seemed to enjoy students. I really enjoyed being a student because I felt like I always had a place and mattered. I really respect Stevens for allowing organizations to encourage students-such as younglife- which is an organization that really helped make my high school experience so wonderful. I enjoyed going to sporting events, and school functions. Something i would change is allowing for more intermural sports. I think students that aren't trying to be competitive should still get the opportunity to do physical activity in school, with other classmates. Having more intermural sports could really create a great community of athletes that just want to have fun and enjoy doing things besides homework. Overall i enjoyed Stevens High School.
