I would love to see the school become a safer place to attend. As a past student we had many threats that should have not have happened due to improper care of the students. Weather it be from friends or teachers, many students were angry and wanted to cause harm. Many also did not feel safe so they would carry protection for theirselves. Overall, I would like to see East Stroudsburg South high school become a safer place to go to school.

East Stroudsburg South is a very interesting school. We excel greatly in some things while we lack in other areas. We have had issues with bullying, although they are getting better. We have a wide range of clubs and sports to join as well as a lot of events. Overall, I have had a good experience. If I would recommend changes I would want to see better security at entrances and more of a value of student opinion.

I don't drink school milk anymore because most of the time it's like gelatin and the food is terrible and most of the fruit tastes like dirt or defrosted fruit. I would like to see better care and definitely more effort in giving lunch to the high schoolers.

I am a current senior at this school, and I am very satisfied with my experience. It is very diverse, and while this is sometimes a source of conflict, the administration handles it very well. Fights and violence have gone down noticeably since I arrived here, and Mr. Catrillo is doing a very good j...
