Last week at Sebring High School, my son was involved in a terrible situation. A theft took place and my son was set up by another student, who accused him of being involved. I am writing this letter to tell how wonderful the staff at Sebring High School is. When I received the news about the situation I was furious. I started to call the high school to find out exactly what happened. It was after 3 p.m. and school was out. I spoke to several personnel on campus and left a couple of messages to contact me the next day. Well, I was totally shocked when this one gentleman called me at my home at 7:30 p.m. We spoke about the situation for approximately 30 minutes, at which time, he explained to me what had happened, and he knew that I was upset with the way it was handled. ...more
