Southern High School was an average experience for me because of the culture difference between them and where I came from in Florida. Southern High School has a good agricultural department, but other than that, there wasn’t really much else to offer within the extensions of other departments.
I enjoyed Southern Alamance High School. The teachers were great and I feel like the classes challenged me. I had a lot of fun playing baseball there and supporting other sports throughout the year. I was involved in several clubs such as the Dream Team, Pep Club, National Honor Society and others. I made a lot of lasting friendships and even connections with teachers that will last a lifetime. I wish I had another four years there honestly.
This place is largely garbage. Some of the teachers are brilliant, but are unevenly distributed in favor of AP classes. Favoritism is a huge issue. The math department is a joke. The school invests most of its time and money into the agricultural/technical classes, despite the art program's success and other programs' needs for resources like books. In addition to all of those issues, I've only ever spoken to my counselor a handful of times, and that's just because I've received academic awards. When the counselors do present themselves they push students toward the local community college, often glazing over proper universities. The campus is dilapidated and insecure; it looks like it dragged out of a swamp. The student body is mostly racist or otherwise bigoted. I'm giving this two stars for the brilliant teachers I had; otherwise, one would be enough.
