This kind of high school, one which prepares students to go out into the world and get a job, should be more common. High Schools now are gearing students to go to college more than in past generations. Many students go to college and do not have the money for it, so they take out student loans. These loans will get larger and larger, it takes people years to pay them off. Graduates of colleges often do not immediately get employed. However in this high school, students are engineered for success. There was even a class that had a 100% success rate where all senior got jobs. Programs such as these high schools actually help students for what is ahead, and not just for college. Instead of students getting anxiety over grades for classes that they will never need, students can receive knowledge and information that will benefit them for years to come. We need more of these high schools all around the country, it will benefit everyone involved.
