Graham High School

I love our school! The classes are fun and the teaches are nice. We have a great program for sports! The Boys Basketball team went 26-1 last year. The Wrestlers are number one in the nation. We have a pretty good cheerleading squad but we don't get credited for a lot of things that we do. We support everyone else in their sports but we don't get very much support at all. I love our principal and our vice principal. They both help keep our schoool safe and a fun place to learn.

As a student, I know that Graham High School is a great school. The school's authority can be a little strict at times, but they know what they're doing. The school has a safe environment. Wrestling is the best sport at Graham. The German class is probably one of the best. There are good-size classes and the hallways are never too crowded. Art class is a lot of fun. Most teachers are nice. The physical education instructor is a little strict, but I like him. (Even though phys-ed is my least favorite class.) Chemistry is really hard, but Mr. Keirn is the smartest man I've ever met. The majority of the students are very 'farmer-ish'. If you like that, it's fine I guess. Sometimes the people get on my nerves though. They're very conservative. I try not to let it bring me down, being a democrat. I hope this helps! Bye!

I feel that Graham High school is on okay school. The halls are crowded and so are the classed. There are some bad classed/subjects that are taught, but there is some good ones. The German program is really good, and so is the gym class now! The music program is okay. The school has the best marching or Dancin Band ever. In sports they all work hard and are good. I feel the level of parent involvement is low, and I wish there were more parents to help out with the school so it would be a more safe and educational environment. So overall this school is like a pair of jeans with a few holes, and patches.

Overall, Graham is not a low quality school for students. From what I saw, I did not see any strong push for higher level thinking in the classrooms. My greatest disappointment seemed to be with the special education department. I saw students that were placed in 'inclusion' classes, but I never saw the Intervention Specialist check on the students or assist with testing. The administration did not seem to believe there were any behavioral issues within high school settting. I was able to visit the school on a few occasions and I did not feel that the administration had a full understanding of what happening with the students. The guidance counselors, on the other hand, seemed very knowledgeable about students and their abilities, struggles, and general outlook.
