All students Sophomore to Senior should have open campus during lunch. As a Sophomore I feel during lunch I have nowhere to go after I eat especially on block days with the lunch being extended. Even with the health block cutting into block lunch its still longer than normal so being able to leave would give students more freedom. If we had an open campus we would be able to leave and go home for a little while and not have to be at school around everyone and be at home with way less people.

Another reason it would be a good thing is that many people do not like the lunch, so if we had open campus we could leave to get food. There are multiple places near the school that are close, fast and easy like Subway, Dairy Queen, Hardees, and Caseys that students can go to for their lunch. 

During lunch we should be able to enjoy being outside and being with our friends without being stuck in the school all day. Although it’s a short break it’s long enough to be able to go outside of school and relax at home or with friends then come back less stressed for school. 

During students’ free periods they are not allowed to leave if they are a Sophomore. I feel this should be changed because some students will not have anything to do during these times, so it would be beneficial to be able to leave and do other things. If students have free periods at the end of the day they could leave to go work, eat, prepare for practice, and anything else they need to do be ready for what they are doing later that day.
