I like that Stoughton High School Student Senate offers RSVP (Raising Student Voice and Participation). It is a great program, and twice each year the senators visit classes and ask the student body what they would like to see changed. In the past, RSVP has contributed to our school numbering the parking spaces, remodeling the locker rooms, installing water bottle fillers, and adding two extra microwaves to our lunchroom.

I Like my school a lot. I think all the teachers know what they are doing and we have a very high graduation rate but, the students tend to be very diverse with each other meaning that we kindof split up into the stereotypical "cool kids" and the "loser" groups, which isn't really the best. But overall the school itself and the environment is welcoming and decent.
As my experience as a student at Stoughton High School, this school lacks essential practices to prepare students for college. One particular policy that needs to change is the retake and late work rules. This policy needs revision because it gives underclassmen a false belief on how college is going to be. However the extracurricular activities such as sports and clubs help unify the student body. Individuals are also able to easily find like-minded groups to connect with. . Another positive about the school is the teachers. Typically the teachers are open to help during academic or after school hours. Therefore the students are able to seek help if needed
