Seneca Valley High is a great school to pursue college academics in my opinion Seneca Valley has the best classes. I am one of their regional students full-time and I have to say they care about students' college readiness cause almost every day they ask you to check out the career coach and join the CTE Class which I am already in. Overall Seneca Valley is a great school for sports CTE Class college readiness or school overall.
