I have enjoyed going to South St. Paul for 4 years now, 9-12th there is something for everyone at South St. Paul High School. They have a lot of amazing extracurricular activities that can fit almost anyone's likes. The staff is always available and always willing to help with whatever is needed. The only drawback I didn't like was the bathrooms being locked and not accessible during certain times. Thats is the only thing I can think of that I would change.

I would like for the community to be a more caring community, as well as last names to be less important than the character of students.
