My experience at Loris High was life changing. Its academic style and the type staff they hire really helped me flourish my freshman and sophomore year. The environment that they encourage really helped my come out of my shell and make friends. The open lunches made it easier to interact with my peers making our schools feel more like a community. Opportunities like this is what made Loris such an amazing high school to attend.

It was able to set me up to where I am and for that I am thankful. It's not the most glorious school, but it has opened up many opportunities for me.

My overall experience with Loris High school was not bad at all. While there were things that I may have not 100 percent agreed with or things that I wish could be better within their system it has never failed to be a bright and high spirited facility. A change that I would like to see in the program is more care for women's sports. The school has a big football program whereas the softball team has been super successful as well yet nt the same praise nor the nice facilities as the football team. I understand the football team makes more money which is very fan based but I hope to see a little more care for our other athletic teams specifically our women athletics. In all I believe Loris High School to be a decent school.
