Culture
Being a small school, SST has a very close knit environment. Students get to know most of their peers as the year progresses. Though most students have a group of friends they generally hang around, intermingling between these groups is commonplace.
SST is often defined as a nerd school and SSTer's take this label with pride. Hallway conversations about history, science, politics, and technology are commonplace. A significant percentage of students bring personal laptops to school on a daily basis. During lunchtime, common activities include sports (mainly Basketball, Soccer, and Frisbee), card games (Yugioh, Magic, and Poker), hand held games (DS, PSP), and computer games.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“Our culture still holds mothers almost exclusively responsible when things go wrong with the kids. Sensing this ultimate accountability, women are understandably reluctant to give up control or veto power. If the finger of blame was eventually going to point in your direction, wouldn’t you be?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
“Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent. It’s become a notion of boredom that is bought and sold, where nothing will happen except that people will become more and more terrified of tomorrow, because the new continues to look old, and the old will always look cute.”
—Malcolm McLaren (b. 1946)
