| 5 3/10/2010 a) great acedemic programs offered including AP classes and the IB program
b) music, art, sports, and other activities including volunteer opportunities and a variety of great clubs are always available!
c) awards are available for many different things and students are always encouraged to strive for their goals because achieving happiness is just as great. Senior of the Month is one example of the many great awards one can recieve at York High as well as the awards classes can recieve by working together just having fun and showing school spirit during Spirit Week.
d) There are a lot of great facilities at York including Bailey Field. There are also tennis courts and a large gym.
e) Parents are very involved at York High, coaching sports, vollunteering, helping with fundraisers and helping make the PTA such a success.
I'd also like to point out the great teachers and staff that spend their day at York. Friendly smiles and warm welcomes always await students and visitors. Teachers strive to make sure EVERY student gets the attention they need to learn the material and succeed. Their level of patients exceeds all expectation. These teachers put their heart and soul into what they do and hardly consider it a 'job!' York High really is the best of the best and one can't help but to succeed! - Posted by Student/Alumni - walla |
