I love Summertown High School. My four years of high school have definitely been unforgettable. I have had multiple teachers who were great influences on my career path and my life. I am very thankful for all of the experiences and memories I was able to be involved in throughout my high school career.

Summertown High School is by far the best high school around. We have such a small population so therefore everyone knows everyone. We are more so a family! I love SHS!

To some shs may be a good school.But the school has flaws,such as,It's so little that they dont offer great education.Instead they focus on sports.Plus if you ever wanted to get involved in a sport,you had to be popular or a teacher's son or daughter.Otherwise,you're stuck with nothing.
