I am blessed and honored to have attended and graduated from this high school.
First off, CLASS OF 2009! WOOT.
1. Teachers. After attending a university, I honestly miss the personal attention I get from a high school class room setting. Although these teachers have about ~40-45 students in their class for at least 4-6 periods in a day, THEY KNOW WHO YOU ARE. I've built so many memorable moments with these amazing teachers, I cannot thank them enough for supporting me (even though I wasn't that great of a student), loving me (even though I sort of troublesome.), and honestly...caring for me. SHOUTOUT TO : MR.LINDSEY (for making the forensics team possible! THE BEST PROGRAM OFFERED AT LOGAN), CAMPBELL, MRS. PEREZ (the sign language teacher), MISS CHUANG (AP PHYSICS), MR. BAUMBACK (AP STATS), MR. JOHNSON (CHEM), MRS. GARCIA (AP ENGLISH), MRS. LAMBARDI (AP US HISTORY), MR. USTICK (AP WORLD HISTORY) & so many more, but the teachers that I've called out...I graduated like four years ago, and I still remember how BIG OF AN IMPACT these WONDERFUL teachers have on me. If they ever see this, I MISS YOU ALL VERY MUCH!
** These teachers do put an enormous amount of effort to help out their students. I know when I was struggling through my classes, many of these teachers were more than willing to stay after school to tutor me OR even use their personal LUNCH period to tutor me while they're eating. These teachers really go all out in helping their students be as successful as possible. Not only did these teachers offer to support me, they also challenged me and helped me grow into a more suitable candidate for a University. Of course, it is up to the student to rise to these challenges and also know how to ask for support.
2. Campus. When I left, they were doing some remodeling...it's probably done now, but I don't exactly stroll around this campus lol since I have no reason to...ANYWHO, yes the campus is HUGE. But it takes no longer than 5 minutes to reach from one end of the campus to the other...EVEN WHEN IT'S CROWDED. There are many places you can hang out during lunch...I can't even name them all lol anywho, I have many, many memories at this campus and I think the atmosphere is great.
3. Yes. It is the only high school in Union City. And I think this is AWESOME. Everyone in your city attends this school. WHAT AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY AND COMMUNITY! I'm still in awe, but I think this is one of the best qualities at this school...having everyone in this community attending the same school...and because it's so huge...it's so diverse...and I'd like to think that a lot of people grew to be more open minded while attending Logan...OF COURSE, there are still a handful of those ignorant, narrow-minded individuals...but those exist everywhere.
4. PROGRAMS. This school has sign language. How flippin awesome is that. Mind you, the teacher for the class is AWESOME. She's so LOVING and CARING. This school is ranked high for their sports (at least for football they are lol). LOGAN BAND & LOGAN FORENSICS TEAM ARE SUPERRRRR BALLER. NO OTHER SCHOOL IN THE TRI CITY HAS A BETTER SPEECH AND DEBATE TEAM OR BAND THAN US. Don't even try to argue with that. And what makes these two AMAZING programs so awesome IS BECAUSE OF IT'S DIVERSITY.
**But honest :: The speech and debate team at LOGAN is one of the top teams IN THE NATION. I was on the team for four years and honesty, you grow SO MUCH with this team. 1. it becomes apart of you and everyone on the team is your family. 2. you learn how to be more professional (GUARANTEE, of course you have to put the effort in too) 3. IT IS A BLESSING to be able to be on the team and constantly challenge yourself. 4. GREAT CONNECTIONS, you meet so many intelligent people all over the nation.
5. RESOURCES. This school has everything. The student just needs to ask & take advantage of it.
Overall, my educational experience at this school was fantastic.
Though, I have to complain about the office ladies that work in the main office. They're sort of rude. I visited the campus because I needed to do some guardian paperwork for my little brother (whose attending the school now), and 1. they were rude fuck, no eye contact, they just starred at their computer screen when I was asking them a question & when answering, they answered with the "why are you so stupid" tone. 2. Apparently they give attitude to the students here, because one of the ladies in the office thought I was a student and she talked down to me until I told her I was a guardian of a student attending the school...I'm not a student there now THEN she apologizes and changes her rude tone of voice.
But yeah, that's my only complaint, along with some high school drama that really has nothing to do with my educational experience there. but if you're a parent reading this and you're worried that your student might not have the best education here...I'm just going to tell you, I would chose this high school over any Mission High any day. read more
