James Campbell High School

Posted April 29, 2009

I use to teach at Campbell. It has it's plusses and minuses like all places. The biggest problem at the school is a lack of leadership. I was always butting heads with the administration when it came to student discipline; and I don't know what the principal does all day but I barely ever saw her. There are a lot of good kids at Campbell, it's a shame they are disadvantaged because of the administration.

If your that mainland kind of person who is used to cold weather and air conditioning, do not come here. But if you're a laid back local, then this school is the place for you. One can say that Campbell is the very center of the world. In that I mean there races of all types. There are many oppurtunities presented here and I am taking great advantage of it. Friends are easy to make, and that includes teachers. The standards of this school are low though; I easily got some A's without putting much effort even if im in an honor's class (is it just me?) Otherwise I would say you could learn alot here if you put your back into it. Just be prepared to see some kids ditching class and providing a distraction for you. All-in-all its a disappointment for some, but a way of life for others.

I taught social studies at Campbell for four years until called back on active duty as a Marine colonel following 9/11. The teachers were very professional and supportive dealing with all the challenges facing JCHS, Leeward School district, and DOE. For what its worth, I would consider returning to teach at JCHS next year after my tour in Okinawa Japan.

I'm now a third year at Campbell and I am definitely content with what I see that's improving with my school. The thing about JCHS that I am happy about most is the motivation and determination the teachers have here to teach their students and giving them the knowledge they need to help the students when they enter college. My teachers are really willing to help answer their students' questions so much that I can't exaggerate it enough! Not only are the teachers great, but the students are as well. Everyone is friendly towards each other no matter what grade level he or she is in. I'm glad that now, students at JCHS can now be exposed to the International Baccalaureate program this school offers. I would recommend your child to enroll here. It's even an AVID certified school! I'm proud to have gone here.
