My school, Cheraw High School is an okay school. We don't often have the funding like other schools, so we do with what we have. For example, currently our air is broken so we have fans all around. The teachers are very educated and help the students achieve their goals. Overall, its a good school.

I enjoyed the community surrounding Cheraw High. I only attended this school for three years, since my freshman year was during the COVID pandemic, but through those years I enjoyed the academics and sports.

At Cheraw High I have experienced the best times from being acknowledged from sports and my academic dedication. I love my school but they can be strict sometimes by not allowing us to be teenagers. I personally would like to see a change in the way some things are ran because of the failure to prepare but mainly I want to see a change within the levels of academics. Why ? , because some students don't push themselves hard enough even when teachers try to encourage them they just don't try. All in all, I love my school and wouldn't trade it for nothing !!
