Great school and the teachers really seem to care about their students. I have throughly enjoyed the theatre experience. My son really came out of his shell with doing this.

Strom Thurmand is a school that continues to do the unexpected. I joined the Rebel family as a freshman and since then the school has progressed and changed so much. I know as a student that we love to complain about the little things, but when I really contemplate all this school tries to share, I can't help but be left with astonishment.
