Sean Elezra interviewed students at Green Valley High School.

Christian Cortez, freshman

"I would cut English because I hate reading."

Gieun Bai, sophomore

"I would probably cut human geography because it isn't necessary. It helps us understand the world, but it isn't required by colleges."

Mackenna Dayton, junior

"I would not cut any programs because everyone has something they are good at doing and something they are passionate about, especially in high school, 'cause that's when you find yourself."

Dennis Jarquin, junior

"I wouldn't cut any programs, because all of them are useful."

Xandy Byington, senior

"I guess health because you take it in both eighth grade and freshman years."

Kelsey Huffer, senior

"I would cut some administration projects over any classes because I think they are wasting money on new doors and projectors. This money could go to new desks and textbooks for students."
