At East Lake High School I have been impressed by our wonderful Performing Arts and Engineering programs respectively. Unfortunately, I don't see as many different backgrounds or races as would be good for our school in forming tolerance which our school struggles with.

I've enjoyed my time at East Lake, being heavily involved in our performing arts department. The choir program is amazing, even going to Carnegie Hall this past school year. Academically, I have been able to take challenging classes and have sufficient help from my teachers.

East Lake High School is an environment that is very welcoming and supportive. The administration is very involved with the school environment and most teachers are very welcoming to students needing help and guidance. The administration field did not prepare us too well for college and a specific areas of telling us where to go for specific things. I think the depending on the teacher you get and their knowledge of different learning styles it allows you to be interactive with the material. There is usually always something engaging and involving around the campus.
