My experience at Andress has been amazing. The students, teachers, and faculty have been a major role in my journey. It wasn't always perfect as i wish there were more school events and for a little more organization, but other than that wonderful school.

I graduated in 2000 and was involved in both band and softball, and now my son is enrolled there and is involved in both band and ROTC and I love the fact that he's seen nothing but positivity there as well did I before graduation.
