After four years at South Lafourche High School, my best experience has been the Career Magnet Center. It has helped me prepare for college very well and I feel that I am very likely to succeed in college due to the things I have learned. I really haven't had any terrible experiences that I remember during my time at SLHS.

Some teachers have made an impact on your lives and you will never forget them. The best part would have to be friday night lights and the community that supports our school.
