We got a Ramp Up to Readiness Program included during school this year. I feel that Ramp up helped us to be better prepared for the future. Ramp up taught us how to be prepared for college and managing your own money.

Our school has many programs and lyceums on not bullying and keeping everyone safe and happy. Bullying is not allowed. All the faculty is strict on this. Everyone feels safe at our school. If you feel upset there are always counselors to talk to. The nurse is always at school the whole day making health resources available.
