I so far have had an amazing experience at Sulphur high. I have had an amazing experience with the teachers, I can tell they love their jobs and teach with passion. The volleyball program is also amazing, there are amazing people and coaches on the team. I would like to see the food get better at Sulphur high. I also love how the students are very involved with the school and constantly make it better.

Absolutely horrific. Bullied from freshman year to senior year for sexuality. Administration wouldn’t help. Academically (advanced classes) it was a great place to thrive.
