Dragons Mic Podcast

Greetings:

Episode one is a look into campus schedules, culture, events, and resources available to students.   18 Minutes.   Our next is a more robust Halloween Special.
Thanks for tuning in.

With that last fire alarm during the AP Bio Test(sorry student biologists), we thought we'd post an episode that's been sitting in our archives for months. A Note: Some of the information we mention is outdated, but our visceral hate for inaccessibility and people who pull the alarm during class still rings true. Enjoy!

NOTE:  This episode discusses sensitive topics regarding relationships and intimacy. Listener Discretion is advised. Recources are linked below.

For our return to the podcast studio, we thought we'd tackle the all too talked about high school relationship. From first kisses and summer romances to graduation and beyond, our group tackles the good, the bad, and the awkward about PDA, Loser Partners, and Immaturity,

Public education in the U.S. hasn't changed much over the past century, especially the subjects being taught. The global Covid-19 pandemic showed us that education could be radically altered - for good and bad - allowing us to consider new options for what students and teachers want in the future. 

This week on Dragons Mic we interview SVHS teachers and students to better understand how they see our education system today. Everything from new grading methods to curriculum, and even censorship is on the table.
