I attended Great Mills right before the pandemic hit. I was truly impressed with the quality of professionalism the staff had. Even when the pandemic started the staff members didn't panic they stepped in and up to ensure every student was safe and able to continue learning.

The teachers I've had actually care about the students and help us plan for our future by helping us find out what we want to become in the future and taking the proper classes to help us become that.

Additional counselors would be a step in the right direction to raise the standard and outcomes for boys. Teaching culturally specific history before slavery will serve you well.
