7/2/2024
At South Lakes High School, I learned a lot not only in academics but also in myself. Over the four years I spent there I had some amazing teachers that were willing to cater to their students different learning styles. My senior year DE English teacher was probably one of the best teachers I had. She helped us use our real lives to apply it to our course work. I was able to right about things that had happened or that were currently happening and apply them to the different topics we were discussing.

I spent most of my time participating in theater as a stage manager, and it was my favorite part of high school. The environment was a very loving and welcoming one, but sometimes the adults involved would turn against each other and in turn the students would get caught in the crossfire.

South Lakes High School is a great place to study as a high school student, as it offers several high-rated facilities from sports to IB Diploma's, but when talking about food it could improve.

However, the communication between school administrators and myself has been poor, to say t...

When first moving to the Herndon area we were highly discouraged by South Lakes, but it has gotten a lot better recently. The teachers work extremely hard to give their student a quality education and the diversity of the school really makes for a supportive community. If you've heard rumors about S...
