Personnel & Curriculum

I. Personnel : The men and women who work in Sunnyside Unified School District come from a variety of backgrounds. There are people of all different cultures who work in this school including whites, hispanics, african americans, asian, and combinations of people, which makes this school diverse in both the population of the people who work there and the students who attend the school. They look and sound like midwest Americans. I assume they are pretty laid back; it's like being in a school like Bexley High School in Columbus, OH. It has a variety of staff, and it's located near OSU as well as Capital University being within the Bexley School District. All positions are valued, but in particular, the special ed department seems to take great pride in its work. Apparently, they relate very strongly to one another as the school district is sought out by those who move into the area, which means its a strong school.

II. Curriculum: The different curricula that seems to be used are those that just about any wealthy, big school can offer. It seems to have the regular core classes, but it also has a technology center or vocational school. I also assume AP classes and a lot of electives like journalism are offered with in Sunnyside. It seems like a challenging place to be for a student that also offers a lot of variety. The subjects that are taught and emphasized the most would probably be the math and sciences as these are the most challenging when getting students to post high school education. A variety of activities flow from the curriculum into the school including the business aspect of the school and the special ed classes that make the school so unique and special.
