I love my experience so far at University High School. Not only does this school challenge me academically, but socially too. University High School offers rich extracurricular courses such as: performing arts, debate club, local service outreaches and more! The students who attend University High School are outstanding classmates who push you to be the best you. The teachers at this school are some of the most helpful and kindest people you will ever meet. I would love for University High School to be able to have a separate campus, because our student number is rising and we are at maximum student capacity right now. Other than that, my high school is one of the best, nationally ranked at number 13, and my second home.
University High School provides a challenging and unique learning environment to prepare students for college. University High offers an abundant amount of Advanced Placement classes and opens students to new experiences, potential areas of study, as well as college credit. The teachers at UHS are qualified and love the jobs they have, which enables the student to enjoy learning more and come to a teacher if they're ever in need. The social structure at University High is very open and supportive amongst students. Although the school environment itself is very competitive, it more encourages beating one's own records and trying to improve oneself rather than win over other students. UHS provides many challenges in time management, as well as working together in clubs and on teams, and working to improve oneself in academics. These provide a dynamic school experience that leaves students proud to be a University High Penguin.
Deciding to go to University High School was the best decision I could have made! Coming from a small middle-school I wasn't sure what to expect, but I can't imagine going anywhere else. The academics are the best part of the school; I've never experienced such eagerness to learn and such unwavering dedication between teachers and students. At UHS, your thoughts are valued and wanted; every day you get to contribute to your class and learning experience in a positive way. I never thought that I would feel as appreciated in my education as I do at UHS; teachers genuinely want to hear your thoughts and ideas, and are committed to enriching your learning environment and experience. Although the facilities are not the most glamorous, the welcoming and intellectual environment that exists at UHS is priceless. I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to attend UHS and can't wait to see where my education takes me!
