Throughout my years at SHS, I've found that the teacher-student relationship is unmatched. Teachers here genuinely want to see their students succeed, which is one of the most important factors as an educator.
As I have attended two schools throughout high school, the academics at SHS are so unique and challenging in the best way possible. I really do feel like I'm learning so much every single day in every single one of my classes. Academics are so treasured at SHS.
Additionally, the school spirit is simply different. Being an Aviator means so much more than merely attending SHS; that's what makes this place different.
However, I would like to see some change in the mental health initiatives that take place throughout our school. Part of me feels as if it's only surface level and for show. It would be nice to see people check in on students regularly.

I have been in Sycamore since 2nd grade. It's one of the very few schools that truly cares for each individual student. The administration is always there for you whether it's for academic help, sports tips, or personal problems. The course offerings are endless. The teachers teach with passion and show through their actions that they actually want to be there to teach us every single day. The diversity and inclusion in the school are like no other. In the cafeteria during lunch, you will see people of all races and religions eating and laughing amongst each other. The connections I have made in the school, both with the teachers and the students, will last a lifetime.
I am currently a senior at Sycamore High School and overall I have had a pretty good high school experience. Sycamore has very knowledgeable teachers who provide a good understanding of the material they have provided. Most teachers will take the time to help make sure that you understand the content. I have also been a member of the band all through high school. A lot of schools do not get enough funding for the arts, but Sycamore has a very strong performing arts department. Anyone who is in need of an instrument, the school will find a way to make sure you can play an instrument. Sycamore is also a pretty diverse school. I personally have friends who are part of the LGBTQ+ community and from different ethic backgrounds.
