Kelly High School student, Giselle Hererra, tells Generation All about her journey to Kelly! Giselle was accepted into a Selective Enrollment High School. She and her family chose her neighborhood high school instead. Worth a read.
For weeks on end I begged and begged my parents to let me go, but to no avail. It was dangerous to go far and I would have to wake up too early to get there. In the end I chose Kelly but I could not be more grateful for going there. I have made amazing new friends and established even closer friendships with the people I went to elementary school with. There are many wonderful opportunities at Kelly that I never knew I could find. Their IB and honors program is preparing me for life after high school. For example, in my AP European History class, the teacher treated us and taught us like we were college students. He would give us lectures and it would be up to us to take notes and keep up. We were also responsible for keeping track of the deadlines for our assignments and turning them in. In fact, there are many students that have taken his class and graduate but come back to tell him that his class really prepared them for college. Their courses were just like his class.
