I love how well we support one another throughout the students and facility. When any type of sport or club advances in playoffs, regional, debates, etc. However, I would change how some sports get more noticed then other clubs or sports.

I love my high school. However like any other public school, it has its quirks. We were blessed with the option of taking honors classes as to be properly ready for college, but the standard classes are just that: standard. Overall I really enjoy my time here and adore participating in things like the student section and the drama club.

There are a couple of really good instructors. The rest punch the clock and really do more harm than good. There are a lot of really good kids in the community but they are totally unmotivated by the school and the teachers.
