When I moved to Mason, OH, I learned that high school start time here is earlier than high school start time in the place that I moved from. It was mind blowing. I really love to sleep and I don’t want to wake up early. It will be also hard for me to adjust to […]
High school, one of the biggest changes in everybody’s school career. Currently, many eighth graders in Bend, Oregon are currently thinking about where they will be going to high school next year. This is a very big and hard decision to make. The different high schools in Bend, Oregon are Bend Senior High, Summit, or […]
In highly competitive high schools throughout the world, grades are a prime factor in how we as students distinguish ourselves from each other. The separation between the A’s and the A plusses draws a distinct line in how you feel about yourself. I’m here to say this has to stop. Students shouldn’t be living out […]
Life is constantly evolving. We measure this continuous evolution through concrete milestones: from taking our first steps to walking across the graduation stage to watching our children take their first steps. While these changes can be exciting, the human instinct in us tells us to fear change. College is no exception. Leaving home and being […]
I think school should start at 9:00am I think school should start at 9:00am. From personal experience when I don’t get enough sleep, I do bad at my tests. Even listing to a teacher without falling asleep is hard. Why school start so early? A lot of teens go to sleep really late because they […]

Volunteering: (v.) Freely offer to do something. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) A contradiction forced for years now, a large number high school students nationwide have been mandated to volunteer in order to graduate and move onto college. Ranging from 40 to over 300 hours, high schools nationwide have began requiring a specific minimum of labor done by […]
Like pubescent butterflies emerging from the outgrown, claustrophobic confines of their middle school cocoon and all its banal inhabitants, young, incoming high schoolers face the daunting task of fitting in (or not). Among the myriad of varied people, a few encompassing classifications can be seen, though not always in sharp contrast to one another. By […]
Cell phones are cool, fun and a way to communicate with people. Most schools, however, do not allow students to access them during the day but why they can be distracting but we can multitask, and for that reason I think they should be allowed in school. Grown ups can be a bit old and […]
When a person thinks of a student that has anxiety, that person is probably thinking that they have a test that day or that they have a homework assignment that was due that they forgot about. Maybe when that person thinks of a student that has depression, that person is probably thinking that they didn’t […]
Going to school is a constant struggle for me. It’s not easy waking up extremely early every weekday, and it’s not easy picking out what to wear each morning either. However, some students struggle with much bigger problems. The problem they face is the fear of going to school.School violence is a huge issue and […]
1. What is smart? 2. TRUE or FALSE: To be smart has no drawbacks. Answer 1: Trick question. There is no correct answer. No “smart” person could give you one. Of course, like any word, there is a basic meaning found in depths of heavy, dust-ridden dictionaries and often vague-online glossaries. Otherwise, it would not […]
The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) is a group of states working together to create assessments that determine whether students are heading in the right direction to be successful in college and their careers.

16.5% of all the schools in the United States require students to wear uniform and 54% of enforce a strict dress code.(“How Many Schools Require Uniforms?” 2016)All students should follow the dress code of there school because If these rules are not followed and a student does get caught for wearing clothes that they are […]
Should high school students have to get up at 6 a.m. every week for 5 days a week just to go to school when a little kid that has less challenging homework gets up to get ready to go to school at 7-7:45? Teens are up later and have a more active life style than […]
Every day thousands of teenagers are putting themselves at risk for pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and severe turmoil emotionally. Instead of thinking about all the consequences, more and more teens are becoming sexually active without completely understanding the precautions that need to be taken when doing so. Providing teens with the option of using a […]
Standardized testing is something that many lawmakers believe is important for students to take in order for the state to be able to tell whether both students are learning and teachers are teaching the students properly. These things are important to lawmakers to try to make more laws and programs to help students excel in […]
Swish! Whack! Clap, clap, and clap. Those are three out of many sounds you hear from sports. Sports are vital to us kids at these times where sports are forgotten and academics are more than embraced. Sports are enjoyable but they also help you in life. Who can tell you if your job is going […]
“What should I eat? Everything sounds incredible!” I thought, looking at the menu of the Argentinean restaurant in Buenos Aires. Everything on the menu was described in Spanish. I could taste every dish as I read through it. “Que quiere usted?” The waiter walked up to me and wondered what I wanted, his notebook and […]
Which should you pick your right path? On summer, many football players want me to join football team so badly. I love to but I have two a PCC classes in the evening and afternoon. General Coach, head coach for football, tired persuades me to join football so I have a hard time. I talk […]
Physical Education, P.E. or what I call the WORST hour of my life since first grade. The ‘games’ are horrible and the coaches are even worse. I think physical education should be wiped out of the school system or at least be optional, not the option like if you wear sandals you don’t play. That […]
Teachers right, you love them you hate them, and some don’t even know what they’re doing. They give us a hand out and tell us to complete it. They might teach us a thing or two but it goes in one ear and goes out the other. Clearly teachers should be required to take training […]
Popularity. Everyone wants it but not everyone has it. Ok, when I say everyone I’m probably over exaggerating but, in all honesty, not by much. Even if you try to pride yourself on the fact that you’re completely happy in your own skin, you’re happy in your group of friends, you don’t want to be […]
I believe that school hurts teenagers. I personally do not like school. I never use to think this way, though. I actually use to like school when I was younger, but as I got older it changed a lot. It gets 2 times more stressful. It causes adults to put loads of pressure on you […]
For a young girl like me, school is very stressful. Seven hours a day. The worst way and place to spend seven hours of your day. You sit in four classes for an hour and a half every day. You put up with all the crap you get from teachers, and from other students. Personally, […]
GPA, College Applications, Midterms, Finals, AP Tests, Homework. Students in high school constantly worry about these academic headaches. Expectations rise so high for teenagers that they barely have the time to actually be teenagers. Homework consumes an immense amount of high school students’ lives. When does the workload become too much to handle? Homework causes […]
What about school? School is just the same old thing everyday. All you do is follow a schedule. You learn things that you already know just in a different way. Don’t you wish that you could tell the teacher what to teach you, if you could teach teachers. If we could teach teachers than they […]
Gifted students are being treated unfairly. They aren’t getting as much attention as learning-disabled students. I believe they should be treated the same as other students with special needs. First, I think the government should support gifted and learning-disabled students equally. In the No Child left Behind Act, or NCLB, some schools are only funded […]
Many kids often say that they hate school. But the truth is, it is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.Did you know that two of every three high-school students in a large survey say they are bored in class every single day? In my opinion, I think school is very beneficial. […]
I’m passionate about EHS because english is my favorite subject. Though that sounds like the beginning paragraph of a suck-up, it’s true. I love reading and I enjoy writing, and while I may not be the best at it, I certainly try my hardest. I intend to run for EHS Vice President, along with Jordan […]
