Overall, a positive experience. I miss high school now that I'm out. Mostly good/great teachers with some not-so-great ones sprinkled in. You get to choose most of your classes so the workload/difficulty is really up to the student.

This school district has grown on me. As with many schools, new issues arise with the changing society. I do enjoy most time spent here, but some staff have only made my education harder.

Quite a bit of sports available. Cheer, drill, band and several clubs available. Almost something for everyone.
