Newberry High School has been a great school to attend. I have never questioned my safety and it feels like a family. I am apart of numerous clubs and play sports and the school does a great job to promote these activities. Also, the diversity and unity is present and the staff and students have good relationships.

My experience at Newberry High was a major life change me. I came into Highschool as a teenage not really wanting to do anything after Highschool to a well intelligent young man wanting to make a change and give back to his community. I made a goal for myself after HighSchool thanks to Newberry and the very special teachers there. My goal is to become a teacher and inspire more children and help them learn who they want to become and what profession they want to go into.

I like the smaller classroom settings. If encouraged, it is easier to build bonds with teachers and feel more comfortable to ask for help pertaining to assignments. It is also easier to consult with classmates about work on the smaller campus.
