The best part of going there was the sheer number of opportunities through the ctc programs and numerous clubs. The worst part of going there was that there wasn't a lot of diversity, which generated a lot of cultural ignorance.

I would like to see change in the school culture and administration. There is a lack of unity within the school and between grades, academics can suffer from the unwelcoming environment. I had a great experience with teachers and faculty and there are plenty of resources and opportunities.
