William and Carol Ouchi High School is a wonderful school in terms of academics and student interactions. The teachers are focus and determined to not only to get students into college, but also to graduate from college. The only bad things about Ouchi high school is the school is so focused on academics other things such as sports are ignored and viewed as pointless and being independent becomes a challenge as students are babied. I would say that the beginning of my college career has been a bit difficult because I am use to my teachers giving me constant reminders and look for me if something is wrong with my grade. I does show that the teachers truly care, however it makes the independence that comes with college more trying.

I began my high school career at Ouchi when it was first located on King and Western. My pupils and I have come a long way, and I believe academically this school is one of the best. As for extra curriculars, and rules well, they speak for themselves. I have improved along the years, I went from apathetic about learning to motivated.

I used to have a decent gpa in my prior middles school, but as entered Ouchi hs my educional life made a huge change. Now I have a 3.8 gpa and I am very excited because this school might be strict but it is making sure that I get accepted in a good college.
