Teachers are wonderful, knowledgeable, and caring. The gifted and advanced placement classes are exceptional, and the gifted teachers are very supportive. All staff, from the office secretaries to the maintenance workers, to the cafeteria employees, are kind. Student activities are all-inclusive, and the entire school is filled with school spirit for the Sam Houston High School Broncos football, basketball, baseball and soccer teams. I have loved my time at this learning institution and hope that one day my own children will be able to attend my alma matter and receive the same level of support and caring that I have received the past 3 1/2 years throughout my high school education. The school and its staff continues to care about and support the students long after graduation, and I am already looking forward to my class's ten year reunion following our graduation in May 2023. I will miss my fellow students and teachers very much, but will remember them fondly in college.
I love the atmosphere, the teachers, the sports, and most of all the variety of clubs and activities provided. It has been an amazing experience and I am lucky to have attended such an amazing high school!
Our school is the first Louisiana parish to try out BYOD. We are allowed to have our phones at school for learning purposes but may use them in the hallways, between classes, and at lunch for personal use. We have a great system of knowing when we are allowed to be on them and when we are not. This has prevented in-school detention from phone violation, which has helped to keep kids to spend more time in the classroom versus in ISI. This has also helped enhance our education by increasing our learning time since it’s only a click of a button to get the information we need. Our school has so many programs, clubs, and athletics for all kids to join. This helps keep our students involved in the community. Sam Houston has plenty of school spirit too! Everyone loves cheering on the broncos on Friday nights and the student section is one of the funnest places to be in Moss Bluff! I love my school and everything it has done for me.
