Senior: It is wonderful! I honestly have nothing to change about the school. The education is excellent; I feel extremely prepared for college because of all the futuristic planning that CWNC has provided for me and all other students. I also admire how religion really drives the school. Of course it is a Catholic school, but going to CWNC one is truly getting the full and life changing faith experience and that is extremely important to me.

Junior: Overall, the school is amazing and very large. It’s almost impossible to not find someone to be friends with. Most of the students are friendly and willing to help however, everyone has their groups. Not many people continue making new friends as the years go on, your friends are your friends and that’s it. No outside friends from your group. Besides from the students, the teachers are amazing. They help provide a rigorous program that will set you up for success. They know how to teach and are always willing to help, as well as being extremely understanding about every situation. The school food is good, not 5 star restaurant quality but it’s edible and doesn’t make you want to vomit. The school got 4 stars simply because of how students communicate with one another, but this should not stop a new student from choosing Seneca Valley.

Slippery Rock Area High School

• Slippery Rock Area School District, PA
• 8-12

Senior: As much as it's been stressful, it's also been equally as fun and an unforgettable experience to attend this school. I've been in this same district for my entire life, so I was already aware of how important education is to them. Going to football games in the fall were some of the liveliest times and you could feel every ounce of school spirit from the marching band to the players to the Rocket Rowdies in the bleachers. This school also has some of the kindest faculty members that you won't find elsewhere. Having a single conversation with any of them shows that they care about where you want to go in the future and strive to push you there. The biggest downside was the poor money distribution put towards heating and a/c. The weather here has extreme fluctuations throughout the year, so it's difficult to counter. I've made some of the best memories here and strengthened the bond with my closest friends. I hope that anyone else entering this high school enjoys it as much as I did.

The Butler Senior High also has many different after school groups including sports, musical, band, orchestra, riffle, JROTC, etc. These groups makes are school our own, we are special in our own way. These groups create family and hold our school together, we all stick together and we are all for one!

To sum this all together, the Butler Senior High School is a wonderful school and I wouldn't want to go to any other school.

Sophomore: Knoch High School was rough the first year, but eventually I found friends. It's a close knit family whether they want to admit or not. Of course there's the annoying idiots who like to mess around way too much, but other than that it's pretty decent. The only thing I can say, is that we definitely are poor... Our school wifi sucks and almost everything is blocked on the internet, even if it's news! But the teachers are nice, they might not be the best teachers, but they're good people.
