Creative Minds Create
Nearly four years ago, my family moved to Cabot for the sole purpose of allowing me to attend Cabot High School. It was time for a change; I had been homeschooled for the past thirteen years, and was ready to enter public school. My family picked Cabot because it was exactly the type of school we’d been looking for. The classes were small, and the teachers were passionate, invested in their students’ success.
Now, four years later, I’m a junior at Cabot High School. I’m taking classes and getting opportunities that would not exist at any other school. Cabot has opened up for me more opportunities and experiences than any other school could possibly have done.
From my four years here, I’ve gained an untold numbers of things. Firstly, the group of friends that I look forward to seeing every day. If Cabot High School were closed, I would lose this amazing group of friends, as we’d all be shipped off to high schools around Vermont. There would be no more impromptu card games during lunch, no more intellectual debates with teachers. Everyone here has something they’re passionate about, and breaking up the friendships that exist at Cabot would serve to destroy the creative and authentic community that the high school is known for.
Because Cabot is such a small school, classes are able to go on trips all over the place, even out of the country. These trips to Québec, New York City, Belize and France, open up the world to students. Just because we’re from a small school in rural Vermont doesn’t mean that we can’t perform in New York City, or travel to Central America. Our small number of students doesn’t mean we can’t hold amazing performances like Shadows in Passage or A Magical Mystery Tour.
This high school is capable of absolutely fantastic things, and we show this in our music, our art, our projects. Cabot High School is filled with creative minds that band together to create amazing things. If the high school was closed, Cabot would lose this creativity.
Sincerely,
Kassandra Morse
