South Tama presents a very large amount of diversity for a medium sized school. The teachers are outstanding and work hard to grow the students' education needs and opportunities. Athletic and fine arts teams compete hard at competitions, and put up a good fight. Here at South Tama there is a lot of persistence and drive to get better.

All of the teachers and staff members are kind and understanding with their students. They know how to prepare their students for after high school by showing that many options available to them.

It was overall a good school to go to. It had a very good arts program and increased the diversity within the arts in the last four years.

Five of my children have attended the STC schools, and while the schools are not perfect, considering the challenges faced by the staff, effective work toward academic and extracurricular success is a focus. The high school was recently renovated, with an addition that eliminated the need for portab...

I attended South Tama as a student and now my children attend South Tama. The Elementary School is a brand new state of the art facility and I am proud that both my children have the opportunity to learn and grow as young people in the STC school system. Yes, all school districts have their flaws bu...
