I like going to school there and it was a great experience. They provided me with resources and opportunities to get where I want to go.

My personal experience with South Warren has overall been a very delightful & humbling experience. I've learned many skills that I don't believe that I could learn at other schools. The staff have for the most part been absolutely fantastic, though I will say that due to the recent shortage of teachers, that Warren County has in the past hired some questionable fits for the open positions but other than that I believe South Warren is truly pursuing our new slogan, "Don't just be good, be great!"
