As a senior I've been pretty satisfied with the academic experience because you get to choose what classes you wanna take if you've met the requirements for graduation

My first year at Cheney was unique, to say the least. I didn't know if it was because I was in a whole new environment, but I never truly felt there. I didn't fit in with my peers. I ended up switching trades because the one I originally picked didn't turn out to be the way I expected it to be. When I switched trades, something changed. I was with a group of people who shared a similar interest as me and that was the foundation to a greater experience at my school. As the years went on, I felt more connected to my peers. And for once, I could finally see myself fitting in somewhere. It is true that Cheney tech has its bad qualities, but like any other school, its good ones make up for that. I've found a home in the last two years that I've attended Cheney, and I know my final year here will be amazing.

Although I had many great experiences within this school, a lot of the staff do not actually care about the students and their wellbeing. In addition, this school does not do a good job of preparing students for college, although most do not go to college, the ones that do have to learn everything from scratch because we learned nothing in Cheney.
