11/19/2025

My experience at Suffern High School has given me the knowledge and confidence to approach a college experience. I am knowledgeable of where I want to take my future, because of what I've learned at Suffern High School. Specifically, partaking in the Suffern High School musical annually has shown me a grasp of what it's like to work with others and perform to my best ability. My passion and drive in the SHS musical has prepared me for a future of excellence.

I would say Suffern High school is a great school because it has many resources for students and has prepared me really well for college. However, I do think things like the food and the teacher-student relationships can be better. I would like to see changes in these things.

This school is good for students overall. Me and my brother really enjoy this school. Mostly every student is nice and shows respect to other kids. It is a great learning environment for every kid and has really good teachers. However, some kids make poor decisions and have to learn the hard way.
