As a student of the class of 2017, Berwick High School is the best school in St. Mary Parish. No, I do not say this because I am biased. I have moved around a bit throughout my life and experienced multiple schools throughout the parish over my 12 years. I can guarantee you that no other school displays the genuinity of those at Berwick High. The teachers are willing to help if you ask them, and the staff tries to be as accommodating to the student's needs as possible. Students overall have pride and an academic standard they uphold themselves to because it is what the teachers and/or parents expect of them. Of course, over my four years I have come across some students who are unpleasant, but this is the case in any school. What I have not experienced at Berwick High School is many cases of bullying. I was one who was bullied, but as soon as I came forward about it, the situation was squashed. SPEAK UP! People are there to help you, and they will believe you! Overall if students find others unpleasant, they will keep to the people they do like. In other schools I have experienced students who are ugly to others if they are in a group assignment with people they dislike. This has never been the case in my four years. I have witnessed a student give an exasperated sigh at most, and the teachers have always been quick to show disapproval of such an action. We have a motto at Berwick High School. We are not just a school but a family. And in my four years, this rings true.

I feel that half of these people below have not idea what they are talking about. Berwick High is a great place and I look forward to going to school every day. Almost all of the teachers care about everyone in the classroom and personally- they always say I'm here if you need me, etc. Also, our principal truly cares about our school and makes great decisions based on all the students. Many people downgrade our principal, but I feel there is no reason to; she is a great woman, leader, and person to look up to. Some of our sports teams are not the best, but we excel in many- softball, baseball, tennis, swim, dance team, etc, but sports shouldn't factor a school, the education should. Our school offers many great types of classes, as well as dual-enrollment that gets you college credit- many schools do not have this. The clubs and activities at this school excel, and we have a great variety so that every student has a place to fit it. Berwick High School is a family; everyone care for everyone and no one is left behiend.

Berwick is a great community to live in and to raise a family in. Our school has great parents and great kids and THAT IS what makes our school great!! The administration cares about one thing and one thing only...test scores. The students that struggle are ignored or even pushed out, all so that test scores will remain high. How sad when teachers and administrators could make a difference in the life of a struggling teenager but don't because they don't quite meet their standards.
