Overall, Washington is an amazing school! The teachers and faculty are wonderful and do an awesome job helping student academically, and personally. They not only provide tutoring for student struggling to maintain good grades, but they also provide school supplies and other personal necessities to students in need. The diversity makes the school unique and really prepares students for the real world, and builds their respect for other cultures, religions, and people with troubling income. Washington also provides around 5 different languages for students to learn (Spanish, German, French, Lakota dialect, and ASL). My school also provides a program within the curriculum that aids students who’s first language is not English. While translating work into their first language, they also learn what the work means in English. Washington is the best public school in Sioux Falls, SD, I absolutely recommend attending.
Washington High is the best! The teachers are so caring and compassionate about their students and would do whatever they can to help us get far in life. Everyday I come to school not only excited to see my friends, but my teachers too! The environment is so welcoming and diverse. We have students of all races and ethnicities, that come from all sides of the spectrum. The teachers pour their hearts into the work they do and it really shows. The amount of sports and clubs offered is amazing. Washington has an endless number of state titles to back up our sports programs.
I spent 4 years at Washington High School and not a day went by that I didn't feel at home. At Washington, I grew as a person more than I had every imagined. I was lucky enough to not only finish and get my diploma, but I did it a semester early thanks to the support from the teachers and students around me. Another thing I applaud my school for is its diversity. Washington is the #1 high school in my state for diversity and I take pride in that. Having so much diversity in races, religions, lifestyles and people made me more culturally aware and gave me insights to different personalities. Along with the wide variety of culture, I had the opportunity to participate in dozens of clubs and activities. I am forever blessed to have had those opportunities and advancements.
