I am a junior at Destrehan. I think that this school is overrated. The school enviroment is not a healthy one. Football players rule the school. They walk around with their shirts untucked, cell phones highly visibile, they just break all the rules. The average student can not thrive in this enviroment.

Overall DHS has a wonderful academic program; however, because of the stereotyping, many students are discouraged because they dare to be different. The 'random' search has been taken too far. Students are being singled out and given 'in-school' dentention just for having a cell phone...even when it

Some jewelry, which some staff members find offensive, is considered a 'possible' weapon and students have to remove it; however, precious jocks can be seen carrying their baseball bats and cell phones with no consquences. They seem to be the untouchables. It is really sad that a few who can't get past their prejudices are missing the whole point for their being in the education field. Get to know these talented students. You may be surprised they do have an intelligent contribution. Have you thought what your life would be like if the stereotyping was reversed? Read less
