I think the best part about Southside is the people. The teachers are helpful and easy to talk too. They all have a good personality and school spirit. I don't think I've had any bad experiences at Southside and there isn't I would like to see change.

In my opinion, Southside High is a very nice school but some things I would change. For example, the dress code, student activities, and lunch food are all things that could really be changed with a great discussion. If it was to be looked over & changed, I believe students would enjoy coming to school more, like myself.
