Leadership do not take accountability for actions.
3/13/2017
All they do is send your child home when he or she has an behavior instead of redirecting the child and continue to teach them , they take the easy way out and send them him or her home and that's not doing anything but stopping them from furthering there education.

Gary Lighthouse College Prep, Graduating 100% of the senior class with 100% accepted to colleges is fantastic. Principal Hart and her staff deserve the lion's share of the credit. This is a great school.
