The 2022-20023 school year at Cascade High School brought many changes, one of the most significant being administration and staff turnover. For many of the staff and students at Cascade, this year was about getting used to their roles at the school. Next year is going to be a lot less turbulent than this year – currently there are no staff members who are planning to leave. As of now next year's changes focus on getting everyone more engaged in sports, extracurricular activities, and the school in general. As administration plans for the 2023-204 school year, they might keep in mind that there are many changes students and staff are hoping to see.
Some of the students indicated hopes for a larger selection of classes, with more protected flex and lunch time. Sophomore Natalie Stein said she would like to “have shorter periods and more classes.”
Another student, Junior Bryan Songer, agreed with this statement, he would like to see “expand[ed] classes offered and hav[ing] shorter periods with more classes.”
In addition to wanting more class offerings, students showed interest in seeing Flex time better protected by reducing disruptions and adding more time to do late work.
“Roland and Garcia keep flex consistent and organized,” said Junior Mackenzie McLeod.
Freshman Nick Crimmins gave the idea of “moving flex into a longer lunch, there's not enough time in flex to get things done.”
“Have more options for food and make more time to do late work,” explained Sophomore Ivan Alejandre.
While changes with flex, lunch and classes were clearly the main topics, other ideas were stated like being, “allowed to drive off campus,” said Junior Bryan Songer.
“Have a place to be outside, to work at,” said English teacher Alexandra Rosenfield.
“Have a music pathway for graduation,” said Junior Mackenzie McLeod.
Some teachers indicated that they would like stricter attendance: “Have better attendance, it’s a lot easier to do work when you're in class and not late,” stated English teacher Alexandra Rosenfield.
Teacher, Kirk Sunitch said he would like to see “improve[d] attendance and tardies.”
