The sports community is very involved with the students. Despite the necessary funding from the state and city level, Parents end up donating more of their money, time, and resource to make it happen for the students. For example, Parents commit to driving their children to events and competitions due to the lack of funding for buses.

This school is horrible. Principal Julene Mckinnon has used racial slurs infront of other black students and defends only white kids. The Pe teachers are horrible too. This school does not care about your kids wellbeing at all. Theres so much more worse stuff about this school I cant even name them...
