South Pontotoc High School is an amazing school for anyone! South Pontotoc is a very friendly and positive environment. The teachers here at South are very experienced and are here to help their students. South Pontotoc is a place you can learn to the best of your ability while making new friends. South Pontotoc High School is very accepting and believes in every one of their students.
I fully believe that South Pontotoc High School has some of the greatest Christian teachers in a public school. They provide help, not only with school work, but also with encouragement and a kind thought from The Word. The only thing I would like to see change at my high school would be that they push to give another free ACT to the seniors as well as when they are juniors. If a student is unavailable to pay for the ACT, they have one shot at getting a scholarship to college without any other athletic or family requirements. I would like to see that try and be passed to allow those students another shot and raising their score.
South Pontotoc is a small high school. About 95 students are graduating in the class of 2020. Due to the small class sizes, more individualized attention from teachers, greater order in the classroom, and greater opportunities for class discussions and/or small-group work is received. Most of the teachers and students are friendly. In the future, I hope South Pontotoc grows both in size and academically like having more advanced classes.
