These past four years at South have been really good! Everyone has this negative perspective about the school but in reality all the teachers and counselors want to help students achieve their goals. There are many clubs and teachers that put extra effort so that students can start their path in something they actually enjoy. Overall I had such a great and fun experience!! However decides to go there, I for sure know that you'll have fun.
