United South High School is a good high school, the teachers are good and the principal cares about her students and staff. She is a very hard working woman that tries to get involved with her staff and students; she will make sure she pays attention to every student organization. My best experience there was the band.

The worst part was that the students didn't want to change the way they thought about education and didn't really appreciate the teachers. What I would like to see change is the school being more open to the ideas students have.

USHS is a great school. As a student, one can pick a pathway and they will give you classes that follow it. There is so much variety and many electives and everyone is always willing to help.
