I've been a student in Galena all my life so I've seen the fall of the lunch system, and next year some of the college classes won't be available for college credit.

Some of the teachers will make you want to drop out. From counting off grades for religious purposes to targeting certain students, some of the teachers would be better off in different fields. Most of them, however, dedicate endless hours of overtime to their students, coming in early, or hosting clubs they fund out of pocket. The ones that go above and beyond make this school top notch.

I feel safe, and taken care of. Even if are school nurse isn't there to help out, the teachers know what their doing. I've never once felt like I wasn't safe and protected at school.
