I'm a Sylvan Hills High School graduate. Class of 1999!!! I'm proud that my oldest son
will be attending Sylvan Hill this fall.

This school is very focused on "school spirit". If you want to put on your blue and white, and cheer, and say, "Go, team, go!", this is the school for you. If you want a good education and support from your teachers, you may want to reconsider.
