The best parts within my high school experience is simply meeting the wonderful people inside it. I'm so thankful for engaging and getting along with a select few that also goes to school there. The worst part about my overall high school experience is the lack of attentiveness. I understand the administers and teachers try there hardest to be helpful but with the amount of kids compared to the staff and lot of things go unnoticed which typically leads to some kids not being taught and constant fights breaking out. With that being said I would like to see more awareness in the school.

SHS is an amazing school. It gets a lot of bad attention because negative things about the school are emphasized more than the positive things. Overall, it has a full IB program, offers the Inspire program, Smart Scholars, Votec, Pre-IB, and IB certificates as well as special Ed classes and classes...
