Argumentative Essay: Yearbook Day For High School
In January, a breach in the Leaguetown district’s computer server was discovered by the district technology director, Ed Robles. Due to this breach, several high school teachers have lost important grades and files. Now, the district has decided to install new security software to all of the computers in the district to ensure the protection of valuable data. While the new software is being installed, all district computers will be shut down for the next three weeks.
“Whoever hacked into our system is bright. They didn’t leave many traces. I don’t think it was a student. This is some pretty sophisticated hacking. The police are getting closer to the hacker, though. He or she left a few bread crumbs for us to follow. Ed Robles (district technology

Although they won’t lose their work, the yearbook staff will still be unable to use the district’s computers, thus hindering the completion of the yearbook, and even possibly ruining a school tradition that has spanned 22 years.
“Even if the yearbook company cut us a break, we would risk not getting the book back before school ended. That would essentially kill an important tradition at the school. Yearbook Day for seniors is one of the most beloved traditions at the school. Ten years ago when I came here, I asked the principal if I should eliminate that event, and he was floored that I would even ask.” Rodney Stephens (yearbook adviser) said.
For 22 years, Leaguetown High School has sponsored a senior yearbook signing party known as “Yearbook Day” which most seniors look forward to at the end of the year. All seniors will be allowed to leave class at noon to get their yearbooks and then attend the signing party. This event is something that many look forward to their entire senior year. For many going off to college the next year, the yearbook is a way to remember all of the good times they had during their high school

    As a soon to be Chicago Public Schools alum, in my lifetime I have experienced school budget cuts, teacher displacements, and two teacher strikes. I have always believed that education is the key to success and extended opportunities, but for the past two years, the optimism that I have always had has slowly started to deteriorate. Everyday when I view the news, it seems that my education is being attacked. Whether it is on a federal, state, or city level. Recently, I just learned that the Trump administration is planning to make significant budget cuts to the Pell Grant program; the state of Illinois seems to also be doomed. Because the state has no budget, funding for the MAP Grant program is tentative. As far as the city, it seems that Chicago has the power to invest in every project except public education.…

    The painting of senior parking spaces has been a tradition for seniors for numerous years1. This occurs on a selected date before the upcoming school year begins, and all the seniors-that have decided to pay the fee-arrive at school and paint their parking space, within a series of parameters. As a scholar who has been attending Uplift Summit International Preparatory for several years, I have been both pleased and let down by some of events and traditions of Summit. I have appreciated the bonds that I have been able to create with my teachers and fellow peers, at Summit we are a family. However, I do believe some of the lack of traditions causes a disinterest in schools events and, ultimately, lack of school spirit. A sense of school spirit is an incredibly detrimental aspect of high school and creating that long-lasting content and bond with high…

    Kind begets kind: high school reunions spin off middle school reunions and elementary school reunions. Many of these students value their common history; they were neighborhood playmates; they started school together and remained friends throughout their academic careers. Some even became sweethearts and soul mates, and became families. The positive effects of this scenario become the source of such a wellspring of nostalgia, re-living and remembering successes and happiness from the good-old-days, it is bound to promote these gatherings, the afore-mentioned reunions, to be repeated at appropriate intervals, so long as willing participants can be found and committees can be…
