Had a lot of fun with this school and I miss the sports so much! I think they could have done more in terms of prepping for college but overall it's a great school.

Colonel Richardson High School is a very small school where resources and opportunities are unavailable. However, because it is such a small school that staff and administrators are super nice and helpful when need be.
