Antioch High School News: A Year in Review and a Look Ahead

Hey everyone! So, I’ve been meaning to write this post for ages – a proper roundup of all the amazing things happening at Antioch High. It's been a whirlwind, honestly! Like, seriously, where does the time go? This year has been packed.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (Mostly Good!)

First off, let's talk about the successes. Our basketball team? Total rockstars. They totally crushed it in the playoffs. I was there for the final game – the atmosphere was electric. Seriously, the energy in the gym was insane! It was way more intense than any high school game I’d ever seen. They even made it to the regional championships! That’s a huge deal for Antioch High – a real testament to their hard work and dedication. Coach Miller deserves a huge shoutout – she’s a legend.

Beyond sports, our drama club's production of "Hamlet" was also a major win. I'm not usually a big Shakespeare fan, but, wow, these kids blew me away. The costumes, the set design, the acting – it was all top-notch. I even cried at the end (don't judge!). This level of talent is rare to see in a high school. I heard rumors about extra funding from a local arts grant... gotta confirm that next year.

A Few Bumps in the Road

Okay, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, though. We had some issues with the school budget this year. I mean, seriously, who knew cutting arts funding was a thing? Some after-school programs had to be canceled. It was a total bummer. I remember feeling so frustrated! The school board needs to prioritize these programs - they are crucial. This isn't just about after-school fun; we're talking about enriching kids’ lives and building essential skills. We need more community involvement. We launched a petition, though, to help us fight for it, and things seemed to turn around for us, thankfully.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Antioch High?

This next year is going to be huge. We've got some ambitious plans. I heard whispers about renovations to the library — can you believe it?! The old one was in desperate need of an upgrade. We’re talking a complete modernization with updated tech and more comfortable seating. That’s going to be super awesome for students.

Also, there's talk of expanding our after-school programs (yay!). Hopefully, the budget issues will be a thing of the past. We're aiming for more diversity too – more clubs, more activities to cater to everyone's interests. We need more inclusive activities for a more diverse population. Antioch is a growing community, and our school needs to grow with it.

Let's make it the best one yet! Go Eagles!
