I totaly loved this school. The teachers are awesome, the principles enforce the rules yet make everyday enjoyable, the counceler help in anyway possible. Hands down the best school in Memphis area, let alone Mississippi. GO CHARGERS
The Principals at Southaven High School really care about the students. They make every effort to acknowledge good behavior as well as handle problems when they arise. The teachers genuinely care for the students both inside the classroom and outside as well. I have nothing but good to say for the Staff, Faculty and Administration of Southaven High School!
SHS is the best school in Desoto County for my children. The teachers are great during school hours and after school with the students. There is such a bond with the Faculty, Staff and Students. What a joy it is for me to work with this school and watch my children become productive citizens. Go Chargers!! What awesome Principals who can call students by name and who are always in the halls making sure students are learning :-)
Wonderful school! Great teachers, and administrators. I feel that my kids are always safe there. They have a Zero tolerance for any type of bad behavior. I wouldn't have my 3 kids at any other school in the distric!
I think and know this is a great school for teenagers. It is a wonderful place for kids. The teachers and principals do a wonderful job!
Have had four children graduate from SHS. Would put any other children there if I had any. Administration is great, teachers are wonderful, helpful and have a sense of family and make the students feel that way. I love SHS. The administration and faculty care about what happens to the kids now and later in their lives. They know how to prepare a kid for college and want the students to leave SHS prepared. Thank you SHS.
school ok. too many fights. dropped from a level 5 to 4. Have a dress code but poorly enforced. teachers good and help students when they need it. new building too. principals needs to get tough with these kids who goof off and needs to stop the bullying. my kid won't eat lunch because so much bullying. education seems good but culture is subpar
Southaven has attracted fantastic young teachers, especially in the science and german classes, but they can't keep them there for long. I was originally worried when meeting my child's science teacher last year because he was so young. My other children were older than him! Turns out, he was my son's favorite teacher and turned him from a c student to an A student. This year my daughter couldn't be in his class because the teacher left the school after last year. the principals need to hang on to good young teachers.
My son attends Southaven High School. His teachers help him before and after school if he makes an appointment. They do not play favorites with the kids.
My children attend Southaven High School and I have been very pleased. We started off in the Shelby County school system and the education, parental involvement and environment of this school are excellent.
