San Marcos High School is located in Hays County of Texas. From entering the school as an unfamiliar freshman to a soon graduating senior, I could say with confidence that the school atmosphere as changed a lot over the years along with the schools dynamics. Although I'm not involved with the preforming arts program, I would say that is our schools most proficient branch. Ranging from our amazing Drill Team called Diamond Line, to our creative theatre program, without these two contributing factors our school wouldn't be San Marcos High. Our sports such as state level wrestling program, cross country and basketball teams helped put our athletic department on the map in our districts we get assigned to every two years. Overall I would not change a single experience I had at this school.
My experience at San Marcos High school is one of the best School experience throughout my entire school life. I meet so many people and meet one of the best teachers, My teachers helped me so much and made me believe in myself and gave me hope and I'm so grateful for that. I made such good memories there such as field trips, School Activity, Being with friends, Being in class, etc.
I definitely learned a lot of good stuff and got taught different skills, I learned from my mistakes and gotten better at thing I wasn't as good before.
I personally wouldn't change anything just because I didn't have a problem with anything or anyone there. San Marcos High school is the one of my best and favorite schools i've ever been to.

I love the teachers at San Marcos High School and the curriculum offered by the school. San Marcos offers many STEM & CTE courses which can be very beneficial to a students career path. An area I’d like to see San Marcos excel in, is maturity. The faculty and staff act like children. They tell us that we are adults and that they will treat us like them(adults)when in reality, they treat us like babies. If we do not have a hall pass we must be skipping, and they ‘ll walk us to class, or if I’m 1 minute late to class I have to walk to the front of the school to get a pass which could result in me being 30 minutes late to class rather than 1 minute. That is instructional time wasted that I could have used to learn. Instead, San Marcos wants to have power and control rather than providing a nurturing learning environment.
