I really enjoyed my experience at this Junior High School. It got me prepared for high school and where I am right now which is with graduation approaching. The teachers were really good and there were many different classes. I enjoyed having good intelligent friends from this school. I am glad to remember this school after graduating in 2014. I enjoyed spending my 7th and 8th grade there.
