We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

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.

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...
