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.

For my 4 years at this school it's been very pleasant. We have good teachers and academics. Our school really values sports and most of our athletes are very good at their academics.

My experience consisted of just going to class. while i was there it was fun, mainly because of my classmates. the sports were the best parts. the classes were pretty easy, just depended on the teacher you had. My best experience would probably be my first and last year of high school. I got to see the school change drastically over the years, mainly look wise and staff change.

Strom Thurmond High School is a terrible school and I would not recommend it to anyone. When I am older, I will make sure that my children do not attend such a school! The lack of discipline is awful; the majority of the student population is impudent, not willing to learn, and are lacking a proper...
