I graduated early at the age of 17. I can start my life early so it'll be ready for the rest. The teachers are very nice and you can meet some very awesome people throughout the whole district to be exact. We've been through alot with my important and shocking pass aways but that made the kids and the school stronger. There's alot of things I can say about the school. The principle is amazing and if your honest and nice to you, then you can become his best friend. I can't wait go back and visit with the teachers. I think that the gym is nice, but I personally think that the workout area is the best out of everything (besides the teachers). I have made some friends that are teachers and I will never lose that. I also have them on social media so it's not like I'm not missing anything from there lives. I had a rough start as a high schooler because of home problems, but they knew what was the best thing for me. If it weren't without the school then I dont know where I'd be.

I went to this school but moved due to the staff and faculty not doing anything about bullying.
