The best part about Chaska is the students and the teachers, and the culture that has been cultivated throughout the school. I enjoy being a part of different clubs and activities, as there is always something for everyone.

Chaska High School, while a very beneficial high school, has its areas where it lacks. My school is very old, and for that reason, I believe that we need some new updates. The bathrooms are very dirty and small so it would benefit from an update on the bathrooms. On the other hand, the teachers here help me to feel seen in my learning everyday and I feel like I am given all of the resources I need in order to succeed in school.
