I am a first year student at Sacred Heart Griffin High School. As a senior, it can be hard to adjust to coming to a school for just one year. However, SHG gave me a sense of belonging and I felt that I fit right in. The school has helped me to prepare for college, make lifelong friends, and learn valuable lessons. Overall, SHG is the best school I have ever attended.

Some teachers are better than others as is the case everywhere. The leadership at the school from the principal to coaches is so revered by the student body, that using any other standard such as personal opinion would be incorrect. Excellent facilities, lunch food could be healthier. Diversity coul...

Not worth the money. Despite all the "scholarships" they offer lower-income students, if you are unable to pay off your debt by graduation, they will not release your final transcripts to your college. This means that you will not be able to get financial aid for your second semester of college. Com...
