South Laurel High School

Honestly, this is one of the worst school to send your children to. The majority of the budgets seems to go to making the place look better, and giving the obese school cop a segway. quality text books, on the other hand, seem to be in short supply. Not only are they obsessed with how the school looks, most of the teachers are unable to look much past the appearance of the students, and several seem to have a personal problem with body art. Parents, If your child is the least bit 'Different,' do your self and them a favor, and do not send them to this horrid, awful institution.

i too am a south laurel graduate (07 class get up!) i was there for some of the best moments (state champs) and worst (certain staff hirings). Moving out of London and hearing stories of the curriculum and overall satisfaction of other students from highschools such as Dunbar and Manual I realized that South Laurel is still greatly lacking in academic potential. Nonetheless, their are certain administrators such as Debbie Felts and Carrie Kirby who do truly care about their students. Overall, i feel as though corbin is a better choice.

This school is wonderful in my opinion. Even though it had its ups and downs its still a great school. There could always have improvements but every school can. I especially want to thank one of the teachers I had there. Mr. Felts, Your a great teacher and I wanted to personally thank you! You have taught me alot there. Everything th you have taught me I can use in my everdya life. thank you

I am a graduate or South Laurel High and I have to say looking back and going back and visiting watching things change and progress SLHS is a great school -- while I am not going to say its perfect as this is not the Walgreens World I will say that the teachers care a lot about the students and their educational well-being. The teachers I had would go the extra mile to help their students understand and solve the problems they had and are willing to listen to the students and change their class and adapt to what their students had to say. I graduated in 2001 and have visited several times since then and have always felt an energy of pride from both the staff and the students. Dalton Shackelford

South Laurel High School has an excellent academic rating! Aside from the EXTREME rules this year, the teachers provide openness and care towards the students and parents who accept it. We have and great faculty, academic team, and sports program. -Loren AND Chelsea

I am currently a freshman at South Laurel High School, and I love it, I was a little skeptical in coming to the High School, but with all of the great teachers I have had and all the great friends I have, I was able to make an easy transition, plus its lots of fun! We are the only school in the county who doesnt have to eat in the lunch room, which is definetly a great privelege, I would not have my school any other way!

This was a wonderful school. The faculty goes above and beyond to help their students learn. They push every student to do their absolute best and settle for nothing less. It was a blessing to have these wonderful people in my life the three years I attended South Laurel. All my teachers have touched my lives and their dedication will never be forgotten. Now attending another high school, I feel that South has some of the best faculty and staff in the nation. It was an enriching and life-changing experience, and I consider it a privilege and blessing to have attended this school!
