Mr. Christopher Young’s Physics classroom - C039 Love the hanging moose leftover from a physics lab!

Mr. Young's classroom is decked out with all types of decor.

Mr. James Bauman’s classroom - The Planetarium

Telescopes and posters adorn the purple brick walls.

Here are the moon phases.

Action figures and books are sat upon this shelf.

Mr. Scott Swindells’ English classroom - A11

Even though typewriters fell out of popularity during the 1980s, Mr. Swindells still has one in his classroom.

Just like writing, learning about the world helps us in our daily lives.

To help students deal with anxiety, Mr. Swindells allows students to color during class.

These uplifting quotes help motivate students in his classroom.

These quotes often have the ability to inspire students when they are lacking motivation.

Dr. David Hall’s classroom - K129 He allows students to paint the tiles on the ceiling!

All the paintings on the ceiling have to be sketched out first and approved before the tiles can be painted.

Here, a student painted The United Farm Works of America. The United Farm Workers of America is the nation's largest farm workers union.

Another student decided to paint about Motown music.

Pictured here is Steve Jobs, the Abbey Road album cover, and other history inspired ceiling tiles.

Here is a student's take on Earth Day. Did you know Earth Day was inspired by Vietnam war protesters?

(Knight Crier/ Opinion)- EVALUATING THE BOOKS WE READ: When the majority of books in our English curriculum are written from a white perspective this hinders the ability to enrich all student's understanding of different cultures.

Opinion: As student population evolves, so too should literature curriculum
