The teachers and people are wonderful. I have so many great memories from high school. I think my biggest issue with it is it's lack of funding of the arts and lack of diversity.

The administration does not always make decisions that make the students happy; but ultimately they are just doing their jobs and are trying to make our school and community a better place.
