Seminole High School

Walking through these halls is no joy. I came to this school as a senior not knowing what to expect, or what people I would end up meeting. I had transferred here from Clearwater High. Totally will not lie to you and honestly tell you that I personally didn't enjoy every minute of my time here, and a lot of the time dreaded coming here everyday. I hated the fact of how cliquey the school is, and especially for me considering my timing of arriving here. Judgment is a huge issue here. Sad to say, there is very few people who happen to be real that attend this school from my experience. The people are fake. The school, like other Pinellas County Schools, seems to be infested with roaches - you would see a new one everyday in at least one of your classes. At one point, I had seen one drop from the ceiling onto a desk. Other than that everyone is talking about drama, or how terrible this school is, a teacher is, or their day. It is very negative, and I saw it as very unhealthy for everyone. The school smells. Terrible. The lack of individuality is sad. For the cliques and friends, I recommend people outside of Seminole. What made the experience better was that I was lucky enough to come across 7 teachers for whom I appreciate their work and reaching out to share their knowledge, in hopes of making their students better people. For that, I'm incredibly thankful to have had Spurgeon, Schellhause, Santell, Thompson, Norris and Cantrell as my teachers for the duration of this year. My English class was a problem in which my original teacher had left in the September of the beginning of the year and from then we had a few long term subs that lasted a month or two at most. For the duration she was there, I appreciate one of the subs we had (Fann) for devoting her time and patience for making sure her students succeeded. After she had left for a government job, our experience went downhill from there. We would have a new sub assigned for each week who would then leave and we would then have another. We had been doing piles and piles of busy work at that point where the individual in charge of grades would never count it - and at the end of the year all of the students ended up getting an A anyway - regardless of if they even took the time to even have a single concern for completing the work. The school is definitely better than a couple others I have attended as I have moved quite a few times, but I'm sure there's better out there. The decision to place your child into this school is ultimately up to you but I hope you take your time to think in advance.

Front desk & office staff is great, but the teachers are terrible....English teacher can't even spell. I now have to transfer her to SPH and move. Disgusted!!

The best around in my day ( c/o '99 ). Its sad to see what has happened to my school.

I was at Seminole high school from 90-94 I made a lot of good friends and I miss my teachers
