A great small-town high school. Teachers are able to personally speak with each student about grades or other problems.

Clubs and organizations are limited at this school, mostly because of funding. Funding gets saved for sports. Some examples of extracurricular activities is the national honor society and oral interpretation.

While this school has its limitations, I would redo my school experience all over again. The staff and administrators are always overly helpful and friendly. The student body as a whole are always approachable and nice.
