I've grown up in the district my whole life. The school is like one big family; everyone knows each other. I am receiving a good education from great teachers. The faculty is supportive and helpful when students need help. Sports are decent. Even though our football team isn't the best, we still cheer them on. I am a part of a variety of clubs that provide a social life for many students. AP classes are offered as well as duel enrollment through WCCC. Many students attend CWCTC or the Work Study program. Yough provides us students with many opportunities for our future. The Art Department does a lot for the community and deserves more recognition. I feel very safe attending Yough. They have the student's best interest at heart. I wouldn't choose to go to school anywhere else.
My time at Yough Senior High School was pleasant, and the academics were challenging with AP classes. For the typical classes though, I do not believe all assignments or overall coursework was challenging for students. I also think as a heavily white-dominated school, it would have been more beneficial to also have facilitated conversations regarding social issues of today. I would love to see Yough Senior High School use more culturally responsive teaching practices, as well as grading practices that are more inclusive to all eight intelligences. I would also like to see more hands-on activities, as well as more conversations around racism, poverty, and human rights.
I mainly liked the teachers at yough high school: there was a variety of ages and experiences and that allowed me to see different perspectives. The teachers I had all cared about the whole student and not just their grade in class. They were always available for extra help if needed.
Due to the pandemic, my school offered online virtual schooling and I think that should be an option in the future even when the pandemic is over. It was nice to have that option of schooling.
