Sports is a big part of this school especially the number of students that you see at all the sports games, on top of that you dress up for fun themes for game days during and after school or on spirit week. I wish i saw more classes or teachers helping us get ready for college and being on our own. I wish parents didn't get as involved so us seniors and juniors could figure it out just like we would in college or away from home.

Teachers treat popular kids like royalty, bullying is not dealt with. All they do is push college with no support for other options.

I really enjoyed attending school here. There were many options for clubs for me to join. New clubs pop up every year I attended. School environment was very warm and welcoming. Teachers are very friendly and are able to cater well to a students learning preferences. Lunches were okay but had a good selection for those with restrictive diets.

Both of my daughters received an excellent education here. Teachers challenged them and prepared them for the rigors of college. Great AP courses!
