I hated this school! I lived in Watseka for 15 years and went K-12. High school was the worst! I was bullied for my beliefs and I was made fun of by teachers for not learning as quickly as other students. One of my teachers (I won't name names) actually told my mom that it would be a waste of time and money for me to attend college and that I should go straight to a TRADE SCHOOL! What kind of teacher SAYS that??? One who is invincible to getting fired that's who. And if you weren't one of the kids who had "Old Money" in the town, good luck with being noticed in sports and other activities. It's all about nepotism in that school and the town!

This school may not be the best school, but it is better than most in the area. Extracurricular activities include: Science club, Kappa club, FFA organization, Scholastic Bowl, Key club, Tennis, Volleyball, Baseball, and Football. Most teachers get to school early to help any students that need help. On Wednesdays, classes end at 2:30 instead of 3:06. the 36 min. left is to help any student who's falling behind. The students are diverse, and usually stay in their own groups, but are friendly to all.

this school isn't half bad. even though i came from a bigger school district with about 2,000 students in the high school, this school is much smaller. but sometimes smaller is better. it's easier to get around, and the people here are much nicer than the people in Bourbonnais. the teachers actually care to help you, and the students are very welcoming.
