I can recall many times that I have admired Seneca High School for a plethora of different reasons. One of those being the excellent staff that is on campus. If you ever are having an issue they are more than ready to help you with whatever problem you may be having. Another thing that the school has that is unmatched is their sports program. A standout one being that of the football team which has been one of the great prides for the school. A change that I would personally like to see in the near future though is a better system for maintaining the mental health of the students and for helping those who are struggling.

I have a great experience at my school. They have been very helpful if I ever have any questions. They have never pushed me away. And they make sure that I am understanding topics and enjoy what they do at the school.
