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.

The school is known for its various behavioral issues, but other than that it's pretty nice. There are issues such as teachers leaving and worn down halls. However the student body themselves are nice, and have great school spirit.
