Experience
Anna H., Class of 2005
Being one of just eight in the first graduating class meant there was nowhere to hide which, at times, was intimidating. Ultimately, it taught me that it’s okay to be seen and heard, and that what I had to say mattered. Looking back, I’m so thankful for the teachers whose life experience went far beyond the classroom. They gave me a broader, more curious view of the world that I carry with me to this day.
Declan H., Class of 2020
I can honestly credit the school with laying the groundwork of the person that I am today. While no one can ever be fully prepared for living alone for the first time and going to university, I felt like I was as well prepared as I could be, not just academically, but also for the extracurricular aspect. Southpointe taught me the value of community and the importance of ongoing effort to maintain that community by dedicated volunteers - something that I carried with me into University and now into adulthood beyond
