    I love Stranahan High School. The educational system here provides many different options for the students to choose from according to their interests. The school has 3 magnet programs: Medical, Science and Pre-Engineering, and UTAP ( Teacher Academy ), as well as a business program known as the Cube. New magnet programs and electives are coming to the school next year. The school also offers a lot of advanced placement classes and some dual enrollment classes on campus for all students equally! This school also has a lot of extracurricular activities. For example, it has an engineering club known as SECME. SECME members participate in many competitions such as robotics competitions, TRAC bridge competitions, competitions for generators, water rockets, and mouse trap cars, and most importantly, Regatta ( boat building and racing ). Stranahan is not like any other school since it is not just a school, it's a home for all of the students who decide to join the family! Go Dragons!

    I am a proud upcoming senior and a currently homeless, yet hard-working student at Stranahan High School. The teachers have helped me build my confidence and given that extra push to be not only academically successful, but a leader. This past year, I've been accepted into their National Honors society, elected Junior Class President, re-elected Senior Class President & and a mentor of their Mentoring Tomorrow's Leaders organization by being recognized for my diligence and hard-work inside and outside of school. However, I couldn't have done it without the wonderful and passionate teachers and guidance counselors who have never hesitated to make sure that I'm on track. Living 30 minutes away from my school to take the bus at 6:00 A.M, I can honestly say that being enrolled in the medical magnet program has made it definitely worth it; as a student who aspires to have a career in the medical field, it has aided me in deciding whether my dream of being a nurse is right for me!
    During my 4 years of high school at Stranahan, I have seen both good and bad things. Good being the acceptance among students to the diverse backgrounds and cultures of everyone. However, there are also many things that Stranahan could improve on. Students often complain about the poor facilities open to them. The quality of work done on bathrooms and classrooms should be evaluated to ensure students are not exposed to health risks which are often a cause of unsanitary conditions. Furthermore, staff should be reevaluated. Many teachers and administrative staff does not work for the benefit of the school. It is often the reason for poor and inefficient practices. Although I am grateful for having the chance to receive an education, there are many ways in which Stranahan can become a better school and ensure future students do not experience the same issues current students are facing.
