The best parts is the sports and the culture of the school. At games the stadiums are usually pretty packed and exciting!

During pep assemblies, you can feel the energy. The school is the most liveliest then. Homecoming too. I can't say the same for every sport and every game. Not many students show up to soccer games or track meets, making it seem like people favor certain sports over others and not sharing the same energy across the board. The teachers are great, and I've never had a bad experience personally. Some even sell snacks, which is nice.

I enjoyed this building and its many offers. Throughout my high school career I have been embraced in their welcoming environment and have succeeded greatly. The curriculum is challenging but in the end it betters all of the students within this facility. I am happy to have been able to attend this school and see all of the things that make this building great.

This school has MAJOR bullying issues, honestly if you are born and raised through the schools and you're wealthy in the area your kid will be fine but new kids do not stand a chance at all it has an AMAZING music and debate/forensics program I believe forensics has won state three years in a row no...
