The Peer Ministry Program here is amazing – it's like having a second family. We have had the opportunity to do so many service projects out in the community and the experience has been eye-opening. I know I will continue to look for opportunities like this when I get to college. The Director of College and School Counseling has been super helpful with college applications and keeping me on track.

There are multiple electives that students are able to take based on their interests, as well as an organized and thought-out plan for post-high school life, and counseling throughout your experience. The best parts of Staples would most likely be the diversity in classes and how much I was able to learn, varying from Middle East Studies to film and literature critique. These miniscule yet vital classes have helped grow my horizons and keep me curious.

I took AP and Honors classes and even with some stressors at that level the support from the teachers and support staff was amazing.

Every year on the anniversary of Sandy Hook the town unites at churches, the town green and even restaurants to show the love and support that continues to grow after a tragedy.

If anyone's incoming, join theater (the clubs, the classes, the program, all of them)- I promise you will not regret it! I made so many friends through theater, and the costume, prop and stagecraft resources are all top-notch. The library is also amazing, and the school food swings back and forth between really really good and incredibly not good (order the noodles if they're available). In terms of classes, there are only a few teachers that I had negative experiences with, and even those taught me things. The administration needs to be better at responding to harassment-related issues, but they are effective a decent amount of the time - any time I went straight to my dean, stuff got done quickly. If you have an extra STEM credit you need, take Geoscience! I had so much fun in that class, and all of my friends will back me up!...

Our facilities are amazing, especially our turf fields that are amazing for athletes in various sports. I would argue that we have some of the best athletic facilities in the state. The only thing that should be improved upon at school is the food. Last year, the food was very good and there were a large variety of options.
