I love the people here. It's one of the best communities I have gone to school in. There are significantly less drugs, alcohol, bullies, etc. The academics are great as well. I'm learning so much, and don't get overwhelmed when I have sports as well.

I enjoyed the teachers and the majority of the classes that were taught. If I could change something though it would have been the cafeteria food.

The teachers genuinely cared about students. The school played a significant role in leading the state to put college distant learning pro...
