Wahluke High School always tries their hardest to get everyone involved and offer help with activities such as afterschool study table where is a teacher just in case they need the extra help. Recently they added a new course that allows students to tutor younger grades that are having struggles with a certain subject to allow them to feel more comfortable and give more confidence to allow themselves to ask for help.

Some things i liked about Wahluke High School is that its free minded it lets us be creative and lets us express our feelings towards one another. Also, another thing i liked is that i'm always understanding the topics and get my stuff turned in on time.Some things ill like to see change is that we need to be more consistent on how students feel and why they feel like that and try to understand the situations their going through.
