Shadow Hills High School has been my place of education over the past four years. While being here I felt very welcomed not only into the school itself but with sports. I have participated in Track & Field, Football, Water Polo, and their swim team. I would love to see change in their fundraising with sports and a change of menu in the cafeteria.

I drive 28 miles one way for my children to come to this school. They are more relaxed and not fearful in their surrounding. Therefore their concentration and work ethics are better than ever. They both receive good grades and i fieel blessed. The overall of the school is excellent.
