Sam Houston High School Reviews
Rating 3.99 out of 5 556 reviews
Sam Houston High school was a great experience. Teacher and counselors were great always their when I needed them. Always willing to help us out with whatever we needed. My classmates were always willing to help each other out. When ever we had an emergency lock down the teachers, counselors, principal Villeral and security team was always there to keep us safe. Overall my High school experience was great.
Sam Houston high school is a school where they pay a lot of attention to the children and their safety. One of my best experiences is the science and mathematics classes, those classes have the best teachers and with a lot of patience and one of my worst experiences at school is that these last few days they have been fixing the kick and we can't go out.
My experience has been wholesome at Sam Houston. It was first a school I hated because of the students, but no matter how far I was from Sam Houston, I was always connected. Sam Houston has not only taught me how to become a better person despite the hardships life puts you through, but it has felt like a community I could rely on when things go wrong. As I’m almost about to graduate from Sam Houston, I’d like to see more commitment from the students school spirit wise. Our school, even though with a lot of helpful resources for the students, students lack to take advantage of them, and don’t have school spirit at all. I’d like to see our school treat everyone with more love and respect to furthermore ensure the safety our students need to raise pride being a fellow Sam Houston student.
