    I had such an amazing experience at this school. I have had so many wonderful teachers who have made such a good impact on my life. One the teachers who has made a big impact on my life is Katie Rufra. Mrs.Rufra has shown me what compassion, and kindness is. She has helped me get through the toughest time and has taught me how to accept every single person, and to be kind. Additionally they have a wonderful choir program in which I am apart of. They have such an amazing variety of clubs that students can join. I am apart of: Recycling club, Drama club, Beta club, Tri-M, and NHS. Not to mention they provide a warm, caring environment where everyone is given tools to succeed!

With many classes they offer, you are able to gain a great education. I wouldn’t wanna go to any other high school than South Oldham High school.
    Naturally and inevitably, no school or community is perfect--each has its weaknesses and strengths. However, South Oldham has provided me with opportunities for academic growth and club involvement that many schools do not have. Our English and Social Studies departments are very good which I am thankful for since they are my favorites! I honestly believe that South Oldham is a place where we are pushed to be the best version of ourselves: academically and personally. As I enter my final year at my school, I try and remind myself of all the good that lies within our walls and work to improve the details that need a bit of refining. :)
