Our school does a wonderful job of providing a club or activity that can be a fit for everyone. Outside of sports, we have FFA, LGBT, Spanish club, speech, Fitness club, National Honor Society. I think almost all of the kids at our school can fit into one of those clubs

I've had a great experience here. There are things that I was able to do that I never thought I would. I was able to take a trip out of the country with my Spanish Class. I don't think I would ave been able to do that if I were at a different school
