The best parts we're having pep rallies and being with others students at football games. The worst part was the passing of our band teacher which we really did not expect would have my senior year. Over all I loved the school and i am satisfied with my experience there.

I have loved my experience at Saluda High School. From the start, being in a small town means that there will be small class sizes which is nice when it comes to teachers getting the necessary one on one time with each student. As well as academics, one of my most favorite experiences from Saluda High was the chance to play on a State Championship team.

Saluda High School is the place where I have gotten my education for the last four years. It is a safe, welcoming environment. I think that it has academically prepared me for college. In the future, I would like to see more student involvement in activities and clubs.

The faculty and staff at Saluda High help foster a learning environment where all students are valued. The students are very respectful of each other and their teachers. There are challenges as can be found in any school, but it truly is a place where there is a school "family" and this can be felt...
