My experience was very interesting. I had 3/4 of my freshman year, half a sophomore year, semi-normal junior year, and 1 normal year, being my senior year. Through these years, I had ups and downs. This past year, my cheer team and I won states for the first time in school history. Also this past year, I was treated very poorly by some of my friends and became pretty depressed. Through the COVID years, I continued with all my school work, including college courses. One thing that I am very grateful for about Ellsworth High School, is the fact that I had the opportunity to take college classes, so I don't have to take as many gen-ed classes when I get to college. I would love to see the community of the school change. It is full of clicks and is very segregated. I would love to see staff and students come together to find ways to bring the school back to a whole.

I like a majority of the teachers at EHS, most try to be helpful and advocate for students. Some classes are pretty big for just one teacher.
