My favorite thing about Crystal is the teachers. In my two years at Crystal, the teachers have stood out. Every day, when I am tired of going to school, the teachers at Crystal can keep me engaged and excited to learn. Although I enter school tired, I am willing to learn throughout the day because of the teachers who are excited to teach every day. Throughout the year, I see countless alums who return to Crystal to talk to their previous teachers, as they have played a big part in the journey of every student at Crystal. Adjusting to Crystal was difficult, but I always had teachers I could go to if I ever needed help.

Moreover, for all four years at Crystal, you have advisors there to help you through Crystal. This gave me more trusted adults at Crystal, making Crystal unique. All the teachers I have had so far have always gone above and beyond to help me if needed. This includes working with me after school or during office hours to ensure I can complete my work. My advisors also helped me adjust to Crystal and helped me select my classes for the upcoming years. Overall, the teachers at Crystal make this school unique, and I will remember them and everything they taught me as I go to college.
