It is a wonderful school and has a very encouraging school environment. The teachers there heavily care about the students learning and are constantly pushing for them to grow.

Sherando high school has an extremely successful band program. The program aided in my development as a musician. Unfortunately, there are very few theatrical performance opportunities.

Horrible school. When I went to school here it was the worst time ever. They do not care at all about children being bullied and was such a toxic environment. The super intendants in the area are even worse. Luckily I had a great college experience after with supportive staff and professors.
