At my time in SCHS I've learned quite a few valuable things regarding life and school. The teachers are wonderful but don't get me wrong there are some bad apples but the school does their best to see to the complaints and issues regarding. We have resources for finding jobs, interships,colleges,and even res courses for those who need things regarding clothing, personal hygiene, transport and food. We have a large amount of clubs and our sports are rather inclusive.
