Ellender Memorial High School

Posted May 25, 2009

I currently attend EMHS. I must say that it is an excellent school. Most people thaink that the diversity of the student population is a bad thing. They also say that Ellender does not provide an adequate education. I would definitely have to disagree with both.

I am currtently a student a EMHS. most people say that Ellender is a horrible school but the only reason that they think that is because they haven't been to ellender. Although i may think that that funding should be more divided up than it already is. I mean if Student Council had more money i think we could do alot more to show the people that Ellender isn't so bad. sure we havve a few fights here and there but what school doesnt?!?! All that I am saying is i think Ellender Memorial High School is an awsome high school to go to.

When people make a complaint about Ellender they are really making a complaint about the state of East Houma. Yeah, Ellender staff can't always find the answers to reach some of our kids...but on the same note, these kids are a product of their upbringing. It is hard for teachers at Ellender to inspire a kid to value their education then the kid's own parents are telling the kid that they don't need an education. It is an uphill battle. The leadership at Ellender is excellent, from the top on down. Let's talk about how many hundreds of kids Ellender has saved rather than the few we have lost.

As a teacher at EMHS, I have to say that we have a great student body. We have a very diverse population, but the students all get along very well. Our staff works together to help our students achieve success. Many of our students lost a great deal after Hurricane Rita last year, but they didn't let that hold them back. It is a challenge to teach at a school where students do not have many of the advantages with which many of us are blessed, but the school tries very hard to provide items for student use that their homes may be lacking. Our technology access is improving, but we still need more computers for students to use. I enjoy teaching at EMHS. We truly do care about our students. I have been there for 4 years now, and I intend to stay.
