Our daughter graduated in the spring and is attending college now. She participated in cheer, FFA, and took concurrent enrollment classes her senior year. From classes at MTech she has a dental assisting certificate that allows her to work in a dental office while she is studying dental hygiene. She always felt safe and supported by faculty and administrators. Communication came through email and the school web site. Whenever I went into the school I was treated well by everyone. They offer a wide variety of standard courses and electives such as shop, ag science, music, athletics, etc. She had a diverse group of friends who worked hard at what they did and loved serving others. Her counselors held frequent meetings and workshops about college applications, scholarships, financial aid, etc. Anyone who doesn't take advantage has themselves to complain to because they were readily available and widely communicated.

Look, I won't lie, this school isn't the greatest. There are a lot of days where I just wish I didn't have to deal with any of it. But I will say this: I don't think the teachers are to blame for the poor quality of this school. Yes, there are some teachers who seem to actively work against students, but the majority of them are trying their best. The students, administration, and culture of the school, however... Yikes.The bottom line is, SJHS *tries* to take care of its students and their mental health and all manner of other things, but as Yoda once said, "Do or do not, there is no try."

My daughter has had the best teachers every single year. She is in 4 th grade and every year the last day of school is a painful one because both she and I are so attached and impressed with the best teacher ever. Every single year she has felt this way. Every teacher has been equally amazing. They really care and go out of their way to help in any situation and I have to give a huge shout out to the principle who we will miss dearly. She knows my daughters name. Sometimes she just searches her out to say hi to her and ask her how her day is going. My daughter loves school. She loves going. That speaks volumes. Way to go brookside.
