Mentor High School

In preparation for the transition to middle school, were were all mixed for social studies, science, math, and spelling. Mrs. Cushatt recognized how shy I was and always kept her classroom open during lunch and recess for me to stay in. I still see Mrs. Siford today when she goes grocery shopping because I work at Weis Markets. She even went to support me at the homecoming game. The connection we had made them more than teachers to me, they were mentors, as…

I am genuinely honored to be among the exemplary students considered for the National Honor Society—an organization in which I have truly longed to join since the commencement of my high school career. Wholeheartedly, I believe in the good this society instills within the community, and that I can further this impeccable impression as providing aid delights me. While participating in NHS, I plan to completely cultivate my leadership, character, and academic qualities so I am able to reinforce my…

The list could go on and on about what is wrong with high school sports in this generation. It starts when they’re young, parent coaches who only qualify because they played the specific sport when they were younger. That is brought into high school, with their child playing the same sport they “coach”, not getting to experience anything other than what their parent’s knowledge and what they could tell them. I’m not saying all high school athletes who are coached by their parents aren’t going to…

Wildwood Christian Academy announced its closing in an e-mail to parents August 1. The private school in Marble Hill that stressed strong academics was scheduled to open this year on August 17, but will close permanently due to a financial shortfall from a decline in enrollment. The school on Whitley Road South was founded in 2003 and had added a high school in 2013-2014. It was serving around 70 students at the time of the closing. The school’s website noted at one point it served 130 students…

priorities other than school. Because school is first priority, many people prioritize their time and balance school with fun and extracurricular activities they may even take a study- skills class in order to improve the skills they are lacking at. This is very crucial because if you do not prioritize than you can not manage your time and work effectively to achieve these standards. Most people in middle school and high school care about their grades and their future. High schools grades are…

INTERVIEWEE: How you going to say that? INTERVIEWEE 1: I stay focused, no I played football and that is the only reason I came to school. I was like, I’ll play football and I don’t have to worry about nothing. That’s what they did in high school; they basically passed me because I played football. INTERVIEWEE: Right. INTERVIEWEE 1: I didn’t have any challenge in high school. My mind said, football, I can do whatever I want in college, because that is how they make it seem on TV. They…

The Northview High School Experience of Jarred Wulf I remember the day I was a freshmen sitting in a lockeroom full of seniors at a NV hockey summer camp at Kent State, the words “ Take this all in with you kid, high school flies by so fast”. That stuck with me all four years of high school. It 's crazy to think that a high school experience or high school hockey experience could change how you look at your life and future so much in such little time. The words, “ where am I going next?” or…

was in kindergarten, my dream was to become a doctor. During career week at my elementary school several parents came into the classroom and spoke about their careers. Several of the parents stressed the importance of doing well in school, going to college, and obtaining a degree. I did not fully understand what this all meant at the age of four, but this idea of attending a university after high school was something I would hear multiple times in my life. My family consists of my…

opportunity to earn a college education will be important to my family and neighbors because it will be one step closer in breaking cycles and opening doors. My brother will see that education can take you places, and he will continue to be motivated in school. Most of my neighbors who are young Hispanic males don’t go to college and…

but I have always been a determined person, and I want to learn every day for the rest of my life. In high school, I learned that the best way for me to truly show that I learned something, that I understood it was to show someone else. For me, understanding means teaching others. I have always appreciated and admired my teachers, and because of that, I have volunteered at my former middle school the last few years of my college, to see my former teachers, as well as do something I loved. One…
