I made lots of friends at this school and hold many memories of it close to my heart. I really miss some of my teachers I had to. Some more than others. What I would wish to see change is more options in electives.

It doesn't allow a wide variety of academic subjects, until 12th grade. There is a fair amount of resources available when it comes to college (College office, advisors, and counselors). There is a extracurricular program, Learn and Earn, that provides a mentor, extra support, guaranteed summer job, and a firm grasp of what comes after high school. Students can apply in 11th grade and it will continue into their senior year.

There are no elevators for students, the students always have to walk up 5 flights of stairs. The worst part of it all is that, there is no lunch. It drains the students to a powerful extent, each class is one hour and 40 minutes.I would never recommend this place on my worst enemy.
