One of the major changes that would be best for the school would be more elective classes to diversify student interests.

I have attended Bells all four years of my high school career, the teachers and education are great. The recent renovations and new building are quite amazing

I have gone to Bells since I was in elementary school. It is a small school, so everyone knows everyone, and you get good contact with the teachers. Sports are always very successful, as well as very high scholastic scores. Most of the teachers here went here as high school students as well, and a few have been teaching here since my mom has been here. It's very much like a big family.
