Throughout my time as Sissonville High School I have made many memories. The staff, faculty, and students are some of the best people I have ever met. The school is such a great environment. There is little to no violence and is 100% a safe learning space. Sissonville High School is the best school I have ever attended.

There are a lot of amazing teachers at Sissonville. Many of them have helped shape me into who I am today. One of my least favorite things about my school is how we don't always know what is going on as they only email teachers and most teachers don't inform students of most everything. the construction going on all throughout the year also hindered my experience so far. I have one more year to attend and, I am in fact, looking forward to this upcoming year.

I've moved to TN and am still very proud of my WV roots. I just heard where SHS has decided to change a policy of praying before ballgames: don't do it, please! Don't be bullied nor scared into changing a choice to pray for safety and sportsmanship for the youth at your school. What does that hurt?...
