This school seems to be truely set on holding students back - there is no dual enrollment program nor do I know anyone who has gain employment witha career tech certification from this school. While there jas always been a band, the school just {re}established a choir/music program. Teachers are great and truely try to make education interesting. The administration and district office are horrible!!!
