South Forsyth High School is amazing with their students and education. Teachers and staff care so much about the students and there are many teachers that any students can ask help for and they will always be there for you. South is very diverse and everyone is treated equally with care and we all support each other in any help. One thing I absolutely love about South is the many opportunities and experience students get to have! We have amazing field trips if you're in DECA, for example going of out state and also for foreign language there are a lot of amazing field trips like going to Paris or Spain!The one thing I would change about South is the school spirit. I believe that school spirit should be expressed in every event and not only football. There should be school spirit in pep rallys, soccer games, basketball games, baseball/softball games, plays, etc. Overall I'm lucking enough to attend South Forsyth High School and get the best high school experience.
I have an overall good experience as a student at South Forsyth High School. The school provides a range of on level, honors, AP, and even IB courses. This allows us, students, to find what our interests may be through our studies. The teachers also help us be where we want to be with study resources, extra help sessions, and extra credit opportunities. I am an active attendee of many different clubs like National English Honors Society, Spanish National Honors Society, National Technical Honors Society, FCCLA, and Junior Civitan. I am so grateful to attend this high school and become an alumnus in a few months. Go Eagles!
I started high school from the bottom when I needed the most assistance however, the counselors work extremely hard to ensure that every student graduates and provides equal opportunity for all to be able to gain a complete advantage of all the resources offered at South. The administration works nonstop to ensure the protection of the school while ensuring some downtime for students to enjoy their high school experience. What is great about the school is also the constant emphasis on leadership, passion, confidence, and exploration.
The International Baccalaureate program offered at this school is top-notch. The teachers in the program are thoroughly immersed in their subjects and experienced enough to not only be able to help each and every student succeed with a diploma, but to also instill a sense of inspiration to be aggressive and go after their aspirations. Being an IB student at South has led me to become a more well-rounded student in preparation for life after high school.
