Suitland High School

I am a current parent of a freshman who is in the IB Programme, a cheerleader and maintains a 4.0. She comes from Mitchellville Maryland and I must say I LOVE SUITLAND. Despite all the NEGATIVE things that were told to me I sent her anyway based on my own research and her Middle School Counselors advice and that a new principal was coming in that would make a difference and turn things around. My daughter has met wonderful friends and teachers and so have I. Even though the drive is a little far it is worth sending my child to Suitland. The principal, teachers and administrators respond to emails and phone calls and that says a lot. I look forward to a GREAT 4 years at SUITLAND. If you are dedicated to your child and your child is dedicated to school you will get a successful student.

I am a current parent of a High School senior, enrolled in the IB program at Suitland High School. I just had one daughter - class of 2011 - who graduated from the IB program, not only with her high school diploma and IB diploma but with high honors. I also have a sophomore in the IB program at Suitland. I truly believe in not only the IB program and what it can do for our children but also in the ability of the coordinator and teachers at Suitland. I believe that our kids can make it no matter where the go but they have to apply themselves and set high goals for themselves. We need to give honor where it is due and Suitland is a great school to be a part of. Parents - you need to get more involved and be a part of a truly great learning experience for our children. We CAN make this school one of the best in PG County and the State of Maryland. So let's go out there for SY2011-2012 and show our new principla that we are different and can make a difference for our children. Let's show the teachers and administrators that they have our support. Let's get more involved. Let's set high standards for all children. We can do it!

This is a great school, with an amazing performing arts program. The arts are essential with the combination of the sciences. Our future leaders are innovators and the arts help to culminate this. Suitland needs help to maintain its Arts Departments as well as Science Labs.

Suitland offers a wide varity of choices when it comes to education. this allows students to get a chance to become familiar with their area of interest. Suitland also offers a wealth of activities. There is something for everyone. Suitland encourages families to become active in the day to day educational lives of students.

I am a current student, and Suitland is a great school, the principal is great, and so are the teachers. The kids are just bad, but they are taking care of that to make it better for us who want to learn. Also their NJROTC, is the best program there, and every student should join.

I am a former student of SHS and I SHS is by far the best school in PG County. They challenged me like no other and the environment is awesome. SHS is way more than a school but a family. As a recent graduate, I keep in contact with the faculty often and everytime I go to visit they approach me with open arms. Yes the media portrays the school as the place full of violence but in all honesty it really isnt. I often recommend SHS to others because the quality of education is phenomenal. I attend a university that will be goin Ivy League in a few years and Suitland as well as good parenting has gotten me here. To set the record straight, I am not a book worm and I did all the things that students do, party, skip school, and maintain a vibrant social life.

I am a former student of SHS's Visual arts program. When I was attending Suitland I received a grade A education balancing IB & AP classes, art classes, after school programs and activities while still graduating with a 4.2 GPA. The teachers at Suitland helped me receive not one but 6 scholarships from different art schools all over the country. I was even being recruited by YALE. Now, to say that this school is no good because your kids don't have it together is unfair to the hard working teachers working on a PUBLIC SCHOOL salary while providing a college-level education. Suitland is the best high school in PG county and one of the best in the state. The school provides all the the tools you need to succeed, whether you chose to use that is up to your child and yourself.
