We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Within these past four years with South Laurel High School, it has become some of the best memories of my life. I have changed from a shy, weird freshman to a outgoing, involved senior who feels ready for the future ahead. The best part has been getting to grow up with the people I've known for years of my life and watching everyone change but still be so close. As that is fun to witness, it is also the worst part because everyone has different plans and the friends you've known for a good chunk of time are leaving you; tomorrow becomes less time your able to spend with them. They do not lie when they say your time at high school will fly by.

Honestly, this is one of the worst school to send your children to. The majority of the budgets seems to go to making the place look better, and giving the obese school cop a segway. quality text books, on the other hand, seem to be in short supply. Not only are they obsessed with how the school loo...
