this school has been both an amazing experience and also a weird one cause of the students. I've been going here since 2020 and i had my first year as a freshman online which wasn't that bad and my sophomore year was amazing everything else was kind of decent. over the years the school had a titan time which was like a certain time out of the day for clubs and it used to be every day but slowly only got put on a Wednesday and they pretty much made it so forgettable which i didn't like that. best part was the teachers they were nice to me and even did my letters of recommendation and we even did Dungeons and dragons together. The thing i would like to see the most is more time for clubs most likely and change back in titan time.

I've greatly enjoyed my years at South Garner, I wouldn't choose to go to any other school in the area. The teachers have been amazing, the administrators are largely good, and the condition of the school is excellent since it is still new. I believe the performing arts department especially is better than any other school.

I think south garner is a really good school especially considering it's a relatively new school. There is plenty of improvement that could be done to the school with the right funds but for what the school has going for it now, i think it's enough.
