High school is the time in our lives to begin exploring options and figure out who we are as individuals, and where we want to go. It is a pathway that guides us to whatever our future holds, but it is also full of commotion, which would transform the slightest bit of misunderstanding into arguments and violence.

Of course, the main purpose of going to school is to gain a good education that will help you be successful in the future. This belief I do hold true; both...

Freshmen, first of all are still learning where L-Hall is, but they are trying to make new friends too. Freshmen are not bad people, they...

High School Dropouts It’s been known for years that young people who do not earn a high school diploma face many more problems later in life than people who graduate.

It all began in the 1960’s when students started to drop out due to the racial discriminations and gang violence. . High school drop outs have been a very serious problem in the United States....

Should football be an extracurricular sport in every Avon Maitland high school? The game of football has become an extremely popular sport over the years.

I remember that towards the end of my senior year in high school, my parents suggested that I apply to a four-year college. They also offered to pay for the cost of going to college as long as I would go full-time and would start right after high school. They believed that I would be more prepared to challenge the real world by having a four-year college degree rather than just a high school diploma. Having a higher education made the difference in getting a good job with a decent salary....

Extending High School. I don’t think high school should be extended to five years. Many students can barely make it past the first couple years. If high school is extended, then there will be an increase in the number of student dropouts. There will be a decrease in the number of high school graduates. Many students don’t like school, so an additional year may just be too much. Eventually, they will decide to drop out. More conflict will arise for those students who do not get along well...

Graduation: a day of freedom, maturity, and proof that nobody is any better than another. “There are many different ways of following through… Sometimes it’s about going there, not getting there....

High School vs. College High school and college are similar in some ways and different in a lot of ways. They are similar in such ways that you still have to go to class, do class work, home work, take test, and study hard.

I don’t know if my college experience will match up to my high school experience but, we shall see. I...

For example, if someone says my name or taps me on the back I don’t turn around because when I was younger girls would do that to me and then laugh at me. I feel bullying is a serious...

The irony of it all is that from a young age school seemed to indorse individuality, yet hypocritical policies...

Graduation Graduation is a goal that everyone wants to accomplish in life. Whether it is from daycare, middle school, high school, or college, it’s a major accomplishment.

Graduation also comes with an emotional impact. Especially when you’ve spent half of your life growing and learning to love...
