Sycamore High is an amazing school. What is seen online is not what is shown in the building and the community? The teachers and staff not only teach but make bonds that last a lifetime. Not once have I ever felt negatively towards the school. Everyone does what they can to the best of their absolutes, and it really shows. I wouldn''t want to learn anywhere else.
