First entering Whitney, it is nerve wrecking and scary because it is an academically challenging school and middle schoolers are at school with high schoolers, but everyone is welcoming and nice. The staff always greet students and teachers are always open and welcoming.

The teachers are very spirited and put in a lot of effort for spirit rallies. They honestly love doing thier job and are always there to help. In 2019, our teachers recreated dances doing by the k-pop group BTS. This not only excited the students, but it also started trending online. It just goes to show how wonderful the teachers are.
