I would like to see more of a connect between students and staff. As well as an improvement in the food.

I graduated year of 2023 and the amount of problems there were was unbelievable. First, administration and faculty are difficult to work with, rude, and some of them have unnecessary scandals that should not be in a school setting.

What I like about this school is the facilities of the school, the bunch of different cultures and people from around the world that I can meet during my high school years, the teachers at this school can be friendly and most of them would me happy to guide you and give you advices. As at school with many students we do not do many activities that can help students to be more involved with the school spirit , so what I would change is the amount of actives we do around the school year and try to do a lot more of activities so that everyone would be more interesting in the school and would be more united with their classmates.
