Southeast Career Technical Academy

"I really enjoyed my education at SECTA, you have a great variety of electives to choose from compared to other schools and staff that really care about their students."

"The english teacher was so rude and so nosy. She once shot me in the leg with a shotgun. She once locked me in a rubber room, a rubber room with rats. Rats made me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. I often have traumatic breakdowns in the middle of the night because of her. I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD, Anxiety, Schizophrenia, BPD, Depression, and many more. This english teacher has ruined my life. My bathroom is now basically a pharmacy with the amount of medication. I have to take to treat all my disorders. Ms. Haegele. This is all because of you."

"My twins are freshman going into sophomore year. One has autism other has anxiety disorder. Graphics design major for both. This school has been incredible in making my kids education priority while making sure their disabilities are handled well. My kids work hard and have their social challenges but seem to be thriving. No bullying has happened which I'm grateful for."

"For all incoming freshmen reading this post, and hopefully you are, I implore you not to choose ANY of the medical majors. Freshmen year is fine, but sophomore and above can only be described as hell. Don't even think of getting a good night's rest when you have a medical major, ESPECIALLY IN YOUR JUNIOR YEAR. Choose cautiously... other than that this school is pretty cool"

"I used to be a student. Spent 3 of my 4 high school years there. This year I'm a senior and I'm reflecting on my old school. I loved almost all my teachers and administration but there where those who showed me that this is not the school for me. This school says they take bullying seriously but by my own experience, they bring the bully in and talk to them and call it good. Especially if they are a child of the school board. No discipline was taken into ensuring the harassment would stop! I was forced to pretend to be friends with this bully due to the school rules or else I was considered a bully if I told her no or leave me alone. And they where willing to suspend me if I got reported a 2ND TIME!!! if you are worried about your child getting bullied, don't send them here. Favoritism is this schools are pride and joy! They don't enforce dress code unless its on a student they don't like! And at times the dress code isn't even being broken! They just think it is!! They also will dress code you for spirit day! Or for a class project. This dress code has to do with makeup! I wore a cheetah HAND PAINTED BY MY EYELINER ON THE SIDES OF MY FACE and they threatened to suspend me on grounds of they couldn't recognize me! Even though the administer who told me this called out my name before saying this. The students can be nice or they can be downright awful. You can't stand up for yourself without risking expulsion! Other than this. The teachers are wonderful! Only had one teacher out of my 3 years that I believed could not teach to save their life. The after school activities are more towards the nerdy people (anime club, game club, etc.) and I know 1 assistant principle who was a great friend when times are rough"
