Princeton high is a quite school with lovley teachers who enjoy their job, although every teacher at princeton is diffrent, the ones i met have taught me faluable lessons in life rather that be perseverance or knowin right from wrong my teachers have been adequate at teaching . Sports is another thing that my school is good at. in my senior year, i participated in Princetons Football team, where tough conditioning and days were you wanted to quite payed off as our team made it to finals loosing to Eastern waygne wasnt easy, who knew a sport you had no intrest in at first would become apart of you so fast?!, My school isnt all so picture perfect, our track team which ive been apart of for 3 years. needs a new track its been years since we had maintenance on it and our schools sports budget seems like its only allocated to football. Diversity in arts is also a small struggle of ours as our school manly focuses on business and agriculture funding, leaving our art programs are left behind.

In Princeton, I'd love to see more funding for arts programs, like band and chorus. So much money is poured into the football team, because that has a return on investment. However, art is incredibly important for child development in areas of creativity, social skills, and emotional skills. The pay off is worth it with the effect it has on kids, even if it's not bringing in as much money.

When I came to Princeton I had no person to look to. I had no friends and the teaching staff really help me get to where I'm at now. I have tons of friends, everyone is so nice!
