We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I absolutely love the small nature of this school's community. The student body really does act like a "family", and we support our peers because everyone knows and respects one another. Being able to take college courses for free, and ultimately receive an Associates in Art or Science while finishing high school, is an immense blessing. The faculty and staff are truly respectable people who do what it takes to help you succeed.
