James F. Byrnes High School prepared me for college in ways no other high school could. Even during the pandemic, the teachers and staff at Byrnes always made sure we were doing everything we could to stay on track for graduation. I made a lot of great memories at Byrnes. Going to football games, meeting new friends, and learning lots of great information from my teachers made my high school experience amazing. James F. Byrnes High school has the BEST principle and assistant principles! The teachers and staff always make the students their number one priority. Not to mention the school itself is one of the cleanest schools I have ever been to.
Great school. Very large and feels like one big community. Sports is big part of culture at Byrnes and really brings everyone together. Band is also a large part of the school and competitions are frequent and exciting. Overall, students here really enjoy themselves if they get involved with events going on. Teachers are very personable and catering to students. Administration is efficient. Still, due to the large nature of the school and the absurd amount of students, there are quite a few "problems" that happen and must be resolved with regards to students doing things they should not do. These problems are somewhat frequent and very distracting to students.
My experience at James F. Byrnes High School will definitely be a memorable one. My fellow students are not only involved at school, but also involved in the community around them such as speaking out about issues and creating ways to give back to the community. The teachers are absolutely excellent. All of the teachers I have had the pleasure of learning from care about my academic understanding as well as me, personally. They create real, supportive relationships with their students. The facilities are older, however a new referendum just passed for them to be updated.
