I loved wheeler’s diversity and staff! Everyone was so welcoming :) I made some of my closest, lifelong friends at wheeler. I discovered my passion in choir and have had many incredible role models. They have so many clubs for students to join and involvement is extremely easy. I was also apart of their theatre program which was amazing. I also made tons of friends through theatre that I will keep for all my life! All of the teachers were always so helpful and caring and I never had a serious problem communicating to any teacher of mine.
At Wheeler High School, you have the opportunity to take numerous rigorous courses, such as honors or AP classes, if you decide to. You can take any course that suits your career path, and you can schedule an appointment with your counselor to ensure your credits are updated and set for the college of your choice. Teachers are friendly and are willing to help you, and provide additional resources if you are struggling in their class. Other than academics, Wheeler also has various extracurricular activities you can participate in, such as Student Government or cultural clubs. Wheeler has many opportunities for their students, but one of the most important aspects of the school is its safe environment. Wheeler does not tolerant violence, and ensures if a student is feeling uneasy, they encourage they speak with their counselor and get to the bottom of the issue.
My overall high school experience has been very interesting. Entering high school I thought wheeler was going to be a fun involved school but sadly it wasn’t. When I was in middle school wheeler was a school known for its sport events and just the overall fun atmosphere. But I quickly realized my freshman year that things were not going to be what I thought they were going to be. Most of our pep rally’s were either canceled or they were geared towards a certain demographic. My 10th grade year I ran track and while most sports are represented at pep rally’s I realized that it wasn’t the case. The only sports at wheeler that actually got acknowledgment and funding were sports like football,basketball, water polo, and volleyball. There are many problems with wheeler but if I could I would have equal acknowledgment and funding for all sports , hold more pep rally’s for students and let EVERY student contribute to what they consisted of.
