My highschool experience is what most would considere to be a normal one. I went through my classes and did the work to pass. The only extracurricular activities I truly enjoyed doing were FFA. I started tractor driving and have gone on to compete in regionals and states. I can't say that I had a bad experience in highschool because for the most part, I focused on my grades and my close friends and stayed away from fighting and drama.

My experience as a student at Summers County High School has been very different compared to my peers. I did not grow up in Summers county or West Virginia, meaning my learning standards weren't quite equal to my peers. Although this felt like a set-back, my teachers always made a way to help me get where I needed to be. This school has taught me much more than just school skills but skills that I can use in my everyday life.

Although Summers County High School lacks proper state funding and is in a rural area, our teachers do the best possible to provide us with a quality education. I wouldn't trade our tight nit community for anything.

administration only cares about money and not the children. many teachers aren’t certified. school lunch is literally appalling. its pretty obvious that the admin are super lazy too. kids with special needs are put to work without receiving any instruction throughout the day. they take out the trash...
