Going to school at Olpe High School has been a wonderful experience. I think the best part of going to school at Olpe is the teachers. The teachers work to help you and they notice if you are struggling with something. I think the worst part would probably be how much we idolize sports. Some kids might feel left out just because they don't play a sport.

The staff and students are amazing. They actually care about the individual student and their life. To them, you are not just another body in the classroom.

I loved the family feels to my highschool. I always knew that my friends and teachers were there for me whenever I was in need of them. I would like to see an equal focus on clubs as their main focus lies in sports. We take a lot of pride in our achievements, but the Olpe community is known for sportsmanship and humble character. There are all things I love about my community and school.
