My name is Kyle Mena. My name is
Zio Costello.

00:00:10.659 --> 00:00:14.149
I feel like Patrick Henry is
just a really good inclusive and

00:00:14.159 --> 00:00:16.750
like, it's just really good
academics as a school.

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.860
I think that it has lots of
clubs and student led organizations

00:00:19.870 --> 00:00:23.409
that like allow us to express
ourselves and show our voices and

00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:25.520
just be a part of the school
community in general.

00:00:25.659 --> 00:00:29.120
And I feel like academics are
really rigorous and they work at

00:00:29.129 --> 00:00:33.129
our pace and just help us
achieve as much as we can in general.

00:00:33.650 --> 00:00:36.069
My favorite part about Patrick
Henry is really the preparation

00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:36.790
of support.

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.180
Um I've been here for three
years and every year that I've been

00:00:40.189 --> 00:00:40.590
here,

00:00:40.819 --> 00:00:44.430
um I've been supported
throughout like all my classes and it

00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:47.310
really prepares you to like go
on to high school and everything

00:00:47.319 --> 00:00:48.349
also do in life.

00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:51.290
So some researchers at school
that we have are, for example,

00:00:51.299 --> 00:00:54.270
we have a lot of like
electronics, we have like computers,

00:00:54.279 --> 00:00:57.150
we have ipads that students are
able to take home as well so

00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.669
they can do their homework and
we have a lot of clubs at our

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:01.950
school. So if you like would
like to do anything.

00:01:01.959 --> 00:01:03.470
We probably have it.

00:01:03.770 --> 00:01:07.089
And um, we have a counselor that
will help us, like,

00:01:07.099 --> 00:01:09.290
pick our high schools and apply
to them as well.

00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:11.300
So that really helps us.

00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:17.309
I think the teachers really work
to get to know other students

00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.720
that have just teach us. So they
focus on social,

00:01:19.730 --> 00:01:23.930
emotional learning and like
activities during class ways to make

00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:26.129
learning fun so that we aren't
bored.

00:01:26.139 --> 00:01:29.990
I think they really just invest
on us as a human in general.

00:01:30.290 --> 00:01:31.629
The teachers here at Patrick
Kennedy, like,

00:01:31.639 --> 00:01:34.489
really care about you and they
care about how,

00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:36.470
how you do in your class and
your other classes.

00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:37.849
So if you ever need help,

00:01:37.860 --> 00:01:41.309
you can just ask them and um
they're like, very welcoming.

00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:45.319
So they'll help you at any time
that you need.

00:01:47.410 --> 00:01:49.720
I recommend this school because
you really feel like you're at

00:01:49.730 --> 00:01:50.510
home here.

00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.190
Like I said, there's a bunch of
fun things to do at the school.

00:01:53.199 --> 00:01:56.040
And in general, like, it's just
a lot of learning that's like,

00:01:56.050 --> 00:01:59.550
really productive and it makes
you happy. It's very fun.

00:01:59.559 --> 00:02:02.260
And I think that overall the
school is just like a family,

00:02:02.269 --> 00:02:05.069
they really care about you and
you'll just fit in great at the

00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:07.680
school throughout the years that
I've been here, I've been like,

00:02:07.690 --> 00:02:10.789
supported by every teacher that
I've met and the staff here like,

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:12.750
really care about you and want
you to succeed.

00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.190
I'd recommend this school
because at this school.

00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.899
Like, I just feel like I belong
here. Like I'm being prepared,

00:02:19.910 --> 00:02:23.309
I'm being supported and everyone
here is like, really friendly.

00:02:23.589 --> 00:02:27.009
So, like, you're welcome to
like, speak to anyone, any teacher,

00:02:27.020 --> 00:02:27.770
they'll help you.

00:02:27.970 --> 00:02:31.970
And it's just like a really good
learning environment.
