I love working for the school and my kids have had great experiences academically and in sports. The only change is the basketball gym is not up to the standard of our other conference schools gyms. A new high school will be needed soon with the growth.

I don't see any need in change. Maybe another cafeteria if student number increases. Other than that. I feel like Gentry schools are awesome!
