There are lots of diverse people and groups, lots of clubs, and lots of sports. The principal is very funny and outgoing, and still does his job. We have very fun clubs like Animal Resource Club, Outdoors Club, Fly Fishing Club, and Knitting Club. The downside of this school and that there are a few groups that are extremely toxic. the girls soccer team has had controversy surrounding it for years for being a toxic environment and I can affirm that. I think actions should be taken to end it once and for all. If it means suspending the team for a month I think it should happen.
