My overall experience at Shenango High School has been an adventure, to say the least. This school has seen all sides of me through dark times and excellent times. I've learned a lot in this school about academics and, most importantly, myself. I wouldn't say Shenango is a bad school by all means, but when it comes to what I don't like about this school is the students. Not all of the students are rude, but there is a good chunk of people who can be rude to people simply just trying to live their lives or get through the day. If I was asked where else I would have wanted to go, I think the answer would be here. Even though the people aren't always nice this school has changed me into the woman I am today. The smart, talented, Jesus-loving, caring, compassionate, helpful woman I am today. I wouldn't change it for the world whether I had to experience some really hard and difficult times, or some really good and helpful times, everything has happened for a reason.

Shenango is a small school, allowing for an atmosphere where students can attain a fair amount of 1 on 1 time if needed or desired. The school is a good school to go to.
