Being a high school student has been quite the rollercoaster ride, let me tell you. The best part? Exploring different subjects and discovering what I'm passionate about has been pretty cool. I never knew I'd be into history until I had this awesome teacher who made it come alive! But let's talk about the worst parts too. Ugh, the stress of exams and deadlines can be overwhelming sometimes. It's like you're juggling a million things at once, from homework to extracurricular activities.
I'd love to see more support for mental health initiatives in schools. Stress and anxiety are real issues that a lot of us deal with, and having resources like counseling or mindfulness programs could make a huge difference. Also, more flexibility in the curriculum would be awesome. Not all of us learn best in the same way, so having options to explore different learning styles would be beneficial.

Growing up in Princeton, the school system inadequately prepared students for higher education and life beyond our small town. Resources, programming, and emphasis on college degrees were lacking, leaving students unprepared for university rigor. Teachers and curriculum failed to challenge students or foster critical thinking needed for college success. College admission requirements, scholarships, and the admissions process were rarely discussed, suggesting that a high school diploma was the end goal. Even our commencement speaker lacked a university degree, undermining the value of further education. Princeton must raise academic standards by bringing in mentors, organizing campus visits, assisting with applications and essays, and fostering intellectual curiosity. Every student deserves the tools to achieve their dreams through higher learning, and Princeton must do better in preparing its youth for bright futures.
The best parts of Princeton are the band and athletic program. Some of the worst parts of my experience are the people constantly blocking the hallways, and the miscommunication between the main high school and Lovelady High School. Overall, my experience here is decent, better than other small town schools to say the least.
