It has a program that other schools do not have which is the Education Academy and that is to prepare to become Teachers,Social workers, psychologist, and etc. As a school we always come together like a family to encourage and support. Sometimes some staff can act like teenagers but other then that it's amazing.

My recommendation, DO NOT let your kids suffer through 4 years in this high school and I'm not joking. I tried several times to have meetings with the principal and others and it seemed to be an out right refusal. I order for me to get results was to go to the school board. I personally feel the fac...
