I guess that's what you get with younger teachers. Experienced, yet haughty... I have found some of the WiHi teachers to be a bit underwhelming when considering their personalities. Don't get me wrong. There are many personable teachers, but there are some who make me question my presence in the school. Also, diversity within the student population, does not equal diversity throughout the school... Every teacher is Caucasian! Just something to consider before stamping the word diversity everywhere. Overall WiHi is a great place to be, when the people who run it aren't trying to make it what it's not.

I really enjoy the teacher-student relationships, as I feel that the staff truly cares about the students and wants the best for us in the future. Another thing I enjoy about my high school is the fact that our academic curriculum deals with real-life issues. For example, in Spanish class, in addition to learning the language we also become informed on currents/problems that plague Spanish-speaking countries, such as anti-government protests in Venezuela, and the issue of femicide in Argentina. Some things that I think could improve are the diversity in the school, in both race and personal beliefs. Overall, WIHI as we often call it, is a great community and place to attend high school.
Making the decision to transfer to WIHI at the end of my sophomore year was the best decision I've made! I was welcomed into a family, full of support, kindness, and love. Although the academics are rigorous, the support of the teachers, administration, and students is beyond measure.
