Simsboro High School has givenme hope for my future. The teachers there really want to seee you succeed and be something in life. This year 2020 Simsboro High School has became in A school ever in history, and we can not thank our principle enough for all that he has done to get us this far and not only that that teachers and staff, who work so hard everyday. We have won two back-to-back state championships in basketball since the 1970's , and were hoping we get a third this year. Overall Simsboro has completely done a 360 since the years I have been attending.
