My experience at Sterling has made me feel proud to attend this high school. The teachers are all amazing people who put their students first, in order to get them prepared for the real world. The relationships that are formed with teachers create friendships, which is something special in all relationships. There is a shared sense of trust and compassion between the student-teacher bonds at this school. Like every high school, the main component of having a great experience is getting involved. Although our sports teams may not be champions every year, it is still a fun environment to support the teams. Clubs such as Interact and Enviromental provide help and service for the outside community. Overall, I have no bad experiences with Sterling, and I think it is a great high school and learning experience.

Sterling's teachers are for the most part great. Many care deeply about their students success and build personal relationships with them. My freshman year I received various amounts of help that stuck throughout my life. The lunch ladies are also super sweet. The coaches are all very supporting of their athletes, and often push them to better develop character and even grades. Finally I think the students, at least during the covid era, weren't able to be reviewed. It was decently clique-y due to what I believe was the quarantining but other classes seemed to be better
