I've transferred from Vel Phillips Memorial, to Sun Prairie East High school on my last year (Senior Year). Overall I'd say Sun prairie East so far has been very helpful. My counselor, teachers, and other staff members have helped me through my Senior year of high school, and if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be where I am today.

My experience at Sun Prairie East High School was great. As a student on more of the artistic side, I was a part of choir and took many art electives. The classes were so homey and so incredibly lively. I had my best experiences in choir. Sun Prairie's Choir was like a second family to me, I felt safe and warm whenever I walked into the room. Although the school has split since I've attended, I still hear from my younger classmen that they still get that same warm fuzzy feeling I once did.

Attempts to create a plan or schedule a meeting through other staff members also l...

I've had 2 kids go through Sun Prairie East High School and they've both had an overall positive experience. Most of the teachers are communicative, supportive and care.
