Teachers and faculty members will help with whatever a student needs help with. The guidance counselors strive for student success. They will not stop working until each student is satisfied. They will walk through walls to get what their students need.

This is my first year at Sheffield High School. I'm a freshman who has been in the Sheffield city schools district for the past three years now. Sheffield High School has great academics. The new Ap courses and other things that were added to the school is very beneficial to the other students and I. The only thing I would like to see change is the school lunches and I would also like to see more clubs added in. Clubs that can help with college and scholarship opportunities would be something that could benefit me and many of other students.
