Southmoore High School

The teachers are great, but the students are so stuck up and snotty. Only care about themselves. I always get bullied and laughed at for sitting alone at lunch

I attended here from fall 2008 (when the school first opened its doors) until spring 2011 (when I graduated). During those years, The education and school spirit was phenomenal. Plus we have won SW Showdown the first three consecutive years. Funny how the first day the school opened, all the students thought there was only one set of stairs for the school itself so it was packed until the staff had told us there were four stairwells. Jun Kim, who was the original Freshman Principal for the school (previously at Highland West Junior High; and now Director of Technology for Moore Public Schools), was a favorite to every student. He even hooked up a Nintendo Wii to a DLP projector and Ubisoft's Just Dance to have students play with in the cafeteria|commons during lunch on fall and spring finals those years. Coach Gregory Oliver, who was my 10th grade history teacher, is now the Sophomore Class Principal. He loves to sing, but he admits that he's not good, and it shows. Mark Sikes, who is now the Junior Class Principal, was previously the Sophomore Class Principal. Susan Smoot (previously an instructor at Westmoore High School before Southmoore opened), who was my Digtial Media instructor was pretty easy going. Plus, she's got a light sense of humore. Coach Robert Shannon Enfield (who retired from coaching in 2011), who was my 11th grade World History teacher. He didn't necessarily teach out of the Teacher's Edition textbooks, but rather did lectures from the heart and mind. The book was rarely looked at whenever he did lectures. Bill Garner, who was my 12th grade English IV teacher, also has a great sense of humor. Plus, he has those word magnets on his whiteboard so you could use them to make some hilarious sentences. During our class graduation, while we were waiting in the concourse at the Cox Convention Center in Downtown OKC, he did a Spongebob reference over the PA, like he would always do in class, "Are You Ready Kids?" and of course we'd respond with, "Aye Aye, Captain!", "I Can't Hear You!", "Aye Aye, Captain!", "Oooooh...—OK before we get started..." Coach Bradley Black, who I had as my seventh grade pre-algebra teacher at Brink Junior High, is pretty down to earth. Virginia Connel, who I had as my 12th grade Math Analysis teacher, has a great sense of humor. During one lecture, the guys talked about going hunting over the weekend, which lead to some of the other guys discussing what they use to hunt with. She then joins in with, "Y'know what I use? ... A Canon." to which some of us were laughing while the rest of us took two seconds to realize the joke. "A Cannon® Rebel", she added as she made a motion of herself using a DSLR camera. Cindi Lee, (previously taught at Highland West Junior High before Southmoore opened) who I had as my Algebra II teacher has a moderate sense of humor, and is an avid dog lover. She has even brought her pitbull to class and she's a sweetheart. Cindy Mayhew (retired in spring 2011), was my Microsoft Visual BASIC, C++, and Java coding instructor during the first two years I attended. She's very nice and will help out where and when you need it. However, it has come to my attention that after my class had graduated, the attitude of the students had shifted toward a more negative tone. Sure the older generation might say that my class was snobby, but we all were snobby teens. However, the younger generation seems to be more snobby than we were, and this doesn't just apply for Southmoore High.

It's a great school, but the ladies in the front office never fail to be very snotty and rude. Heaven forbid you ask them a simple question, sure would hate to make them do their job...
