Horrible school for children, teachers are rude arent professional and are miserable constantly bringing other kids down if they arent getting the subject of matter. Should be closed down

As a 1962 alumnus, I really can't say anything meaningful about the school or its faculty today.

I attended from 1958 to 1962, when South Park had around 3,000 students. We had a terrible football team (4 victories in 4 years), but great school spirit and dedicated teachers.

I am a former student from SPHS. It was a geeat school when i attended despite all the bad publicity. Now I am glad to say my daughter attends. She is an honor student. She is having the time of her life with all the extra-curricular activities. The principal is doing a phenominal job. The teachers and their involvement are to be commended. I look forward to seeing my daughter graduate and furthering her education. SPHS has changed guite a bit since I was there, but with the help from teachers and their great principal, I see great things coming from South Park.
