Douglas R.Welch High School 250 East Tuttle Road, Ionia, MI 48846

"I came here nervous as hell because of all the rumors I heard about it, but when I got here the teachers were friendly and very helpful. I was almost a year behind up at the high school but thanks to this school I was able to pull everything together and ill be graduating before the ionia high schoolers do."

"It sucks"

"It is a school."

"I don't really care about anybodies excuses or anything else they may have to say.... It doesn't take much to get your diploma here. If somebody doesn't graduate while attending this school then they can't blame anyone other than themselves. The teachers were always readily available for help if needed (although help shouldn't of been needed) and there was always time to do everything required within the class period so potentially there would he no homework. That is of course assuming that you utilize your time wisely as opposed to wasting your time doing nothing. They also offered Online Classes which could easily be blown through as long as you had a little common sense and knew how to read or follow instructions. There were days where I would complete multiple classes within a few hours, thus attaining several credits and saving my self 3-6 months of class time. I didn't care much for the way I was treated by the administration when I first arrived after transferring from Detroit. Nevertheless, I left with my diploma."
