My experience in southmoreland was for the most part entirely unpleasant. While some of the teachers really do seem to care, a large majority dont. I have vivid memories of teachers and counselors being rude and disrespectful to students. There were many times I could have used counseling, but I couldn't because I felt incredibly uncomfortable around the people put in place to help. I can think of a decent amount of teachers really do care and are really wonderful people, while others are more concerned over drama and will gossip about other students. This always felt highly unprofessional and I feel the staff needs evaluating. Funding had been removed from many extracurricular programs and even the special needs program to hire secretaries. One final gripe I had was the cafeteria food was disgusting. One of my really food friends hot a slice of pizza with a very large nearly two inch piece of mold on it. All together I would say this schools fairly average, but really needs fixed.
I enjoyed my high school experience at Southmoreland. The teachers were great, and I loved how it was a small school and everyone knew each other. I feel like I made some of my best friends here and had great connections with the teachers. I was a part of the ladies soccer team, and that was one of the best experiences of my life. I was also very involved with a lot of other extra circular activities, and they made my experience even better.
I've had an overall excellent and fulfilling education experience at Southmoreland Senior High School. Southmoreland School District is filled with tremendous teachers who work hard to be the best educators for their students. The teachers are kind, compassionate, and supportive of everyone who walks into their classroom. Southmoreland has rigorous yet rewarding educational standards to fully prepare students for further education after high school. The school district is a wonderful and welcoming environment for everyone.
