I've only been here for roughly a year and a half. It's nice in that there are a lot of supportive staff. The school also has provided me with plenty of resources for things like the ACT. Would like it to be more open campus.

The teachers are amazing and almost all of them really care about you, your well-being, and your preformance. They are always there for you, and even in the world of a pandemic, are super flexible.
