First of all, the most important locations at Sam Houston High School are the classrooms because that is where the most important learning occurs. In order to be successful, you should come to class prepared with all the materials you need such as your binder, paper, and something with which to write. It is important for you to be in class and seated before the tardy bell. At all times it is expected that you use appropriate language and keep your hands, feet, and other objects to yourself.
