I think Agua Fria highschool has an amazing environment for students of all kinds with all needs of their own, we love to see how welcoming it is and how amazing it can be to go to a school that acres for you, with all Opportunities open for you and all programs for you to go to college and make your life like a bird leaving a nest. Agua Fria should change their policy we should also focus on mental health no matter what, and with saying that we also love how we have free therapy on campus if applicable, this is the school for you!!!
