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."
