Calumet High School

Posted October 27, 2009

Here's the deal. Calumet is a great school. we may not have the best test scores, the finest things, or even the most successful sports teams, but we try and that is what matters. With great teachers like: Mr. Alb, Mr. Wadkins, Mr. Trevino, Mrs. Weirzbecki, and many others that put their hearts into teaching, and trying to make a difference in every single one of their students' lives. The coaches here are remarkable. Just like the teachers, but even more so, they push you to do your best. It is a popular belief that it is the teacher's fault if a student fails, or does bad in school. This is not true. A teacher can only do so much, and making a child want to learn, or do anything in class is rarely possible. The behavior of these kids I blame on the lack of parental support.

I think Calumet is an o.k. school. I mean ya we don't have all the nice things other schools have but who cares. As long as the teachers aren't rude people then the school is great. No not all the people in this school get along, but other then that the people here are fine. As long as you follow the rules you will have a blast here trust me. If you get all your work done you can talk all you want as long as there isn't any other work needed to be done. I would rate this school a 7 out of 10. But i have only been here for almost 1 year so it might get even better. My favorite teacher would have to be Ms. Gabbert. She is my gym teacher and she is very nice and listens to everything you have to say.

I am a current senior at Calumet and I have read all of the reviews which can seem very misleading to someone who has not been around Calumet for a number of years. We have a new principal now named Mr. Freeman who puts his heart and soul into leading our school. He is a phenomenal person. Then there are our teachers at CHS who do an outstanding job of helping us to learn and not only teaching us the lessons in their subject areas, but they also teach us some of the fundmentals of life; often teaching us things that our parents should be teaching. Some of these teachers have become a crutch for the students, and many students find a support system withing that building. Calumet is a gold mine of knowledge and support. Anyone who speaks ill of it hasn't been paying attention...

I have never gone into a School And when the students are asked Do you think theres a racial Problem they Laughed and no one! raised there hands I have never seen More students get along in one grouping sure there is some teasing but in all Everyone seems to be Friends.
