going to sewanhaka high school is one most craziest experiences. im a junior and have been attending shs since 7th grade. this school has taught me how to grow and be a stronger person. many people say its a bad school, but don't pre-judge us. this school has great teachers and most unique student body in the whole district. |

this is the best school that i have ever been to because it tought me how to get in and out of problems and i really did meet new people and even if i had problems i would run to a person that i trust which would actually be a social worker and one of the guidance couselors... but i really do miss that school i wish i can move baqck to it because i have a lot of friends there and a lot of people that i trust... well but i really did my education ready to come to this other school which i think its not that good of it like shs is... i hope to see the people that i miss and trust soon... |
