Derby High School

Posted Tuesday, December 1, 2009

I went to Derby High. Graduated in 2008. The high school isn't as bad and people like to say. The teachers are great and its a good atmosphere there. Everybody in general is easy to get along with and there's a lot of activities for students to join in. Its really diverse there so you can learn a lot from others.

I'm a recent grad and am sick of hearing others give Derby a bad reputation as a drug, alcohol and promiscuity hotspot, because it isn't. From my experiences, and I had a wide variety of them, only approximately 5% of Derby students ever run into one of those issues to a degree that is worth worrying about. The truth is that those 5% have parents who let them do what they want and as long as the parents of the children love them enough to let them know that they care about them from day to day and don't let that be ok it isn't a problem. In reality, the school is very safe with only a few isolated incidents that can be found in any school in the country and with a school this size they do happen from time to time, less than what it appears.

I recently graduated from this school and am attending the University of Kansas with a full ride scholarship through AFROTC and majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I believe that the teachers at this school do their best to take the students they're given and provide a rich learning environment so that they do just recieve good test scores and never amount to anything past that but go on to live full lives and become valuable citizens. I know that all of the teachers whom I was lucky enough to have while I was here provided me with a wide variety of tools to prepare me for college and life along with a vast knowledge of their subjects that has allowed me to transition smoothly into college life and recieve the scholarship that I did, because I never would have without them.

My daughters recently graduated from Derby, one of my twins really enjoyed being at Derby High School, she performed with the Derby Color guard, played in the symphonic band, really had a great time going to New York with the band, she also traveled with JROTC, she went to Washington DC, Oklahoma City, several Leadership camps in Texas and drill team events all over the state. She truly had a great high school experience. Her twin graduated from the Derby Alternative High School where she was able to have a smaller student body and she really loved her teachers. So something was great for both kids and I'm very happy here in Derby.
