SSH helped prepare students for college by encouraging good work ethics and allowing periods of time to read freely and study. The facility is a bit outdated but at least offers classes that are not typically accessible in the Tri-Cities such as Astronomy and Game design. If I would like to see anything change it would be nice to see better diversity in the teachers, staff, and students. This would help give a better appreciation for different cultures and ethnicities that are lacking in the area.

South is a school of approximately 750 students, giving you an opportunity to be known to your teachers but large enough to broaden your friendships. We have a strong theater, competitive athletic program, and an academic platform that can provide you a solid base to take you into adulthood.

My past four years of high school have flown by. Seeing it all come to a close is the hardest part, especially parting ways with all of the people I have grown up with. I have enjoyed high school. Sullivan South's school pride has always been my favorite. I am very proud to say that the upperclassmen of our school have always done a good job of making sure everyone knows what it is like to have rebel pride. Aside from our school pride, the academics have been fairly well. Our math and science teachers are the best. They have always pushed us to do our best. I have taken mostly honors and AP classes so I have had to put extra time in to school, especially since I have played basketball and volleyball my past 4 years of high school. The clubs have done a very good job of community service projects and helping out of school. I am going to miss this place, but I am so excited to start my future and grow in my adulthood.

South Has Improved in the Students some Over the Past Couple Of Years. And I honestly would rather go to South than alot of other schools in the area. It seems like we are a big family here. Especially after the passing of a few students the past couple years. Everyone really come together to mourn...
