Evergreen Valley High School

Evergreen Valley High School, in my opinion, one of the best high schools this district has to offer. I have attended this school for almost 4 years and I could proudly say that i enjoy every single moment at this school so far! This school has a lot to offer, excellent students and staff, along with the fun and educational classes, and splendid music programs.

As a freshman at EV and being new to the school and all, my first week here was completely unexpected. Not only were the upper-class friendly to me, but they made me feel welcomed. Leadership went out of their way to provide for the students and get everyone involved during spirit days. The amount of involvement from everyone is mind-blowing. EV as a whole raised $4,137 for the Bill Wilson shelter for homeless teens and those in need. That was done in a single week, and it's unbelievable. I'm only a freshman, but I love EV from the bottom of my heart, and it's the most welcoming and spirited community out there. We never fail to reach our goals, and I honestly can't wait to spend my next 4 years at EV.

EVHS has only been in my life for a short time, but already I know that the next 4 years for me will be only of the most craziest and memorable years of my life. This school is spirited and everyone there is always so friendly. I've already met so many people and made new friendships. The school atmosphere is just plain amazing. Staff, students, everyone is just friendly, that's what's so great about this school. The school offers so many events and extracurricular activities for students which are so great. We just need to keep this good spirit going!

What comes to mind when I hear the words “high school”? Before EV I would have said tests, intolerable teachers, and stress. But going into my last year here I can honestly say that none of this affects me. While there will always be tests and stress, EV acts as an outlet. There are so many activities to do and people to meet. It’s true that the standards are set high, due to the fact that the staff genuinely believes in all of our abilities to pass our classes and graduate high school. Through all my years here, I have seen people come and go, but one thing never leaves, our school spirit. Cougar Pride as we call it stays with you after you leave; it becomes a permanent part of you. I know this school has the ability to do great things, because I have seen it. I have seen us fund raise, I have seen us act in plays, I have seen us dance and laugh, I got to experience high school not just in the form of books and learning, but through the happiness it has brought me and many others. So, what do I think when I hear the words “high school”? I think of all of the smiles I see walking through our beautiful campus, I think of the activities I've participated in, but most of all I think of the pride I hold now and will continue to hold as my last year here comes to an end. Love you Cougars!!

I've only been a student at Evergreen Valley HS for a month, but this was honestly one of the best months in my life. There were so many fun events to get us all involved, such as spirit weeks! This week was decades week, and it was honestly extremely fun to see all the cougars dressed up and taking pictures, and participating! Everyone looked amazing! I look forward to spending the next 4 years on this campus, and as a class officer, I will try my best to make the school even better than it already is!
