My school has done a lot for me in preparing me for the real world. I can't imagine a life without going here and seeing all the friends I have made throughout my time here. My one regret is not joining more of the many clubs at our school. All of the teachers at the school really care about you and are so willing to help you with anything.

It wasn't that bad, high school is just stressful. SLHS didn't do anything wrong so 4/5 stars. If anyone ever sees this, take AP Chem cuz Ms. Hensley is the best teacher ever.
