Salina High School South Reviews
Rating 3.79 out of 5 290 reviews
I would change the lunches and the safety procedures, as they are minimal. The lunches are what they can be, but they usually get rid of the best items. Another thing is the safety. When there is a threat, they act like they are going to do something big to help with it, but they just do a little video sent to everyone. However, almost every other part of the school is great!
The school offered numerous programs and many pathways for potential degrees and/or trade school jobs/careers after high school. Salina South worked really well with the surrounding colleges to help the students get the best education possible. They worked with K-State, Kansas Wesleyan, and Salina Tech. They really just wanted to set the children up for success and give the kids as many resources as possible to make sure they knew where they were going after high school. Personally, the school has allowed me to excel in every class and participate in many activities hosted by the school. I am currently the High School Marching Band Drum Major and by being apart of the band I have experienced the fantastic school spirit and made many friends along the way. The school encourages community and humanitarian involvement in the town and state to educate the kids on working towards a reliable, sustainable future for all. Overall, I have had a great experience with Salina South High School.
I have enjoyed my time at my own high school. What I'm going to miss the most is the teachers. The teachers were always there for me and always reached out to make sure I was okay or I had a great day at school. Their involvement in students life is amazing. Im really thankful for the teachers at my high school. I have also enjoyed all the different activities and school academics that they offer. We are allowed to take classes at Salina K-state and Salina tech. This has allowed me to advanced further. And the activities that the school has to ofter has allowed me to get involved around the community. Honestly, what they could do better getting students more involved. The activities are there but there is not advertisement for them.
