What I really like about South Hamilton Middle/High School was our agricultural program in the school. The classes I took were Ag Mechanics, Animal Science I and II, and will be taking Agricultural Business this following spring. In the Ag Mechanics class, I really enjoyed rebuilding my grandfather's old 1954 Farmall 300 and got to learn more about rebuilding machinery. In both the Animal Science I and II classes, I got to learn more about the different breeds of livestock and the anatomy of the various animals. I also really enjoyed our weightlifting program in our athletics department. I have gotten faster and strong throughout high school and have paid off in the sports that I have participated in. I participated in Cross Country, Basketball, and Track/Field. I got to experience fantastic coaching and enjoyed making friendships through the different sports that I have participated in. If it was not for South Hamilton Middle/High School, I would not have been the person I am today.
I love how my school isn’t a huge school and it isn’t a super small school. I am able to go our for every sport without try outs and I can be in the band with out try outs. My school also doesn’t have any bullies that I know of which is pretty awesome! There most likely is some minor bullying but I don’t notice any! The staff also does there best to make a good experience for the students!
South Hamilton has an amazing community that loves and cares for their kids. They value both education and athletics and are supportive of the decisions you make and how you choose to live out your morals and values. I wouldn't change a thing about it.
