Budget are terrible for clubs and sports most of the money goes for the football team but even then the football team can't get a win while the sports and clubs that go to state get nearly nothing for budgets . Our school spirit is low too nearly no student joins in as well as some of the food being so bad it better to walk out of school and buy your own food to eat,we do have some good clubs and sports soccer and golf is fun they get lots of win and clubs too law enforcement, e-sport, theater and other ones too but the amount of stuff they received to support them is almost nothing .

The best parts about this high school is that almost everyone knows everyone and we are very social.

I've only been at the school for two years but it's not bad at all. There's various programs that help with college-readiness like, avid and the go center. There are many sports to play and many extracurricular. Only thing I'd change is the students, there are many fights and it isn't the safest place.
