Why I chose Animas
Freshman and Sophmore year I was attending Durango High School (the main high school in Durango) and it felt like I was falling through the cracks. My teachers had too much on their plates and too many students to bother themselves with my personal school issues. Not only that, but the culture at DHS was that of very minimal work and most kids didn't take learning at all seriously. Many of my friends attended Animas High School and told me of the amazing things that were happening at their school and the inspiring teachers and uplifting culture etc. This description of school was not something I had ever even come close to experiencing, so my Junior year I decided to make the switch. To this day I think this decision was one of the best of my life and am so happy to be at a school that makes me enjoy the privilege of learning.
