There is no other school like Somerset High School. The traditions, the lifelong friends, the amazing role model teachers, Somerset High School has it all. The school only having around 500 students means everyone knows everyone. All of the teachers get to know almost every student in the building, the same as every student getting to know almost evert teacher. It is super east to make friends at SHS. As a band student I really like to brag on the arts programs. I have 2 of the best band directors ever. Mr. and Mrs. Lenox are like my second parents. Our band is like a family. Everyone accepts everyone, and we all stand up for each other. We have an outstanding Musical production as well. Mrs. Foister is an amazing teacher and runs such an amazing production every year. Much like our band program, SHS Musical Production is a big family. Everyone accepts everyone and it is a judgement free zone. We also have amazing sports teams to be involved in as well as other clubs and activities.
Somerset High School was the best high school experience I could have ever asked for. Although this year did not turn out quite like we had expected it to, the other three years of attending this school definitely made up for it. This school has the best traditions possible, from float week, to the homecoming parade, to the first home football game jumper walk, and the pep rally's in the gym. I can with no doubt say Somerset High School welcomes you with open arms and invites you into a family that you never knew you needed.
My time at SHS has been nothing less than amazing. From being a regional varsity football champion, to being the lead in our state renowned musical program, SHS has been the best experience of my life. The people here are so kind, and smart, and this is a school that invests in it's students. We have one of the nicest turf fields in all of highschool football. The staff here is kind and loving, and very patient. Although I have had an amazing academic, and athletic experience here, it is the amazing century old tradition that brings this school together, and this tradition is where we find our identity as a school, and it is why people truly bleed purple and gold for life.
