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.

The one thing I like about Orr high school is that, when you basketball there the coaches let us know that playing basketball is not just about winning games, its about trusting each other, being a family and having each other back. If you work hard together you will win together, and your hard work will pay off down the road.
