I love this school except for the fact that we aren't allowed to chew gum and I would like more out of school options or more hand's on available classes. Maybe more options for our optional class besides Band, Choir, Orchastra, and Wheel. And please more sports options for every grade! ~A. Rose

This school is alright except a few things like they don't give us enough opportunities in sports why can't we do more exciting things like baseball, soccer or martial arts. Also 4-H would be an awesome thing to do at south. Also there are these teachers that get on my last nerves because they are harsh....if you want my advice i would run
