The teachers at SHS are super dedicated to helping students learn and preparing them for their futures. SHS has great programs to get students involved and there is a great atmosphere with one common identity. Most students are loud and proud to be Irish (mascot). The school is safe with the SRO officer and hall monitors. I will be sad to go after I graduate.

Seneca High School is an amazing school district that I am lucky to have attended. The teachers are invested in their students' futures and want to see them succeed. The administration has done an amazing job, this year especially, on ensuring that the school year goes as smoothly as possible throughout the pandemic.
