I went to Emporia High School during covid so mostly my Freshmen and Sophomore days. In my experience it was a lot of fun exploring the school and having different classes to help me in my adult life. I took most of my financial classes here and I do have to admit it made a difference in my savings and the plans I have for my bright future. I was a wrestler there and the community made my time worth it. While the world was stopped EHS kept on moving. Making different accommodations for people allowing every student to be worth it. I miss the summer exercise classes to get the students ready for next year of griding sports. This school molded me into a better man.

I am a previous student at this school, I left my senior year to go online and I’ll say it’s significantly better. EHS plays favorites when it comes to athletes compared to a regular student. The school isn’t poor as they are prioritizing renovations over getting better curriculum. Teachers at this...

The community is ok. The issue is that the school doesn't have money so its harder.

Horrible, administration may as well be a bunch of puppies, at least then they could keep students interested in their learning.
