We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I like the concept of a small community that allows students to form friendly, supportive relationships with teachers. I would like a more organized teaching structure paired with more detailed teaching of the course material, especially if it is material that the instructor is planning to involve on the quiz.

I believe that Central High School was a great environment to grow up into a young adult. There were classes offered to gain college credits while still being in high school. The staff are friendly and truly care about you as a person and not only a student. One thing I truly loved about this school was that there were so many activities to be involved in, even in such a small school. It was a great environment to further my education and become a well rounded person.

As the years have gone on, more and more students are becoming involved in superfanning or coming up with themed games. The fan support makes the players have more fun and enjoy the game, even if they aren't necessarily winning.
