The school bathrooms are a nice place to go; everyone needs to use it at one point or another. We shouldn't have to worry if a stall is broken or a toilet is plugged full of random stuff. This is what the bathrooms should be like, but they are not. This is what most students of AHS would say about the school bathrooms.
Then there is the issue of vaping, with vapes being hidden in the ceiling. “I feel like that's honestly kind of stupid,” junior Kaitlynn Wagonhoffer said. “Kids really shouldn't have vapes, but you can't control them.”
There are other issues, especially with the second and third floor bathrooms. “The gaps in between the stall doors have too big a gap,” Wagonhoffer said.
The entry doors to the bathroom were removed last year and not too many people were happy about it. “After a while it didn't really bother me, but at the beginning I was kind of uncomfortable,” Wagonhoffer said. “An invasion of privacy.” The school took this action because of vandalism in the bathrooms, from random items in the toilets to drawing all over the walls.
The school's first floor bathrooms were remodeled not too long ago and look very nice, while the second and third floor bathrooms are still the same as they once were. “”They need to be updated, provide more privacy like the first floor,” Wagonhoffer said.
