There are definitely things that could change within the Surry school systems, but most notable would be the education itself.

My four years of attending Surry County High School were quite enjoyable. The small are made keeping friends and family close. The small school environment made it easier to learn. This opportunity was giving me the chance to work head on with teachers in a more simple learning area.
