My experience at Smiths Station High School had been great overall. I love how the teachers explain in detail when I don't understand a subject were learning. I feel safe when I'm here and want to learn more and more each day because of that.

I have had racial things said about me and nothing taken into consideration about. I don't tend to let that bring me down but it is so ridiculous how a pwi treats minorities if they don't look a certain way.

My experience at Smiths Station High School was good and bad. I had a lot of fun playing sports and doing activities with my friends. The only bad experience I had was the drama. Administration could do better with discipline and bullying. We had a lot of students commit suicide every year at Smiths Station whether it was the high school, middle school, or the freshman center.

I am a military child and just moved from here and I have to say I will miss my friends and teachers but I am glad to be gone from this Administration. They only focus on the bad and let the upperclassmen bully the underclassmen. They even tried to ban sophomores from pep rallys when seniors were bo...
