This is my second year at Granite and there is a lot of ups and downs but one thing that makes granite the best is the people. You can find so many friends and people with different cultures and life styles. We have had some students all the way from Idaho recently and on their first day they made friends. its only been a week since they shown up and I see them hanging out with a group of friends. Not only that we all get along with the teachers and the teachers love the students. All of my teachers help out anyone if they need it. The only down side about Granite is the fact that we dont offer drama or theater but we have a community theater to help with that. There are some changed I would make to Granite and that would be to add more benches and tables because there aren't that many.
