It was a great school , for a shy individual like me making friends was so hard but I managed. As a freshman I was in the marching band and I was verbally bullied and made my experience in the marching band terrible, and when that one friend you made moves away it just sucks. I wouldn't change anything about South it holds so many memories for me I will treasure forever.

No Child Left Behind has ruined this school. If you want your child to simply graduate, send him or her to this school. He or she may not know how to read our write but graduation rates are that matter even if students don't technically pass classes. The upper level students will do fine but I fear...
