This school helped me prepare greatly for college. I would say that the teacher that has helped me the most is Mr. Hagen. He took several class periods to explain to us details about the financial parts of student loans. He also came up with a project that helped us students learn just how much our college would cost and how we could budget after college with paying our student loans.

I like the fact that it is a rural school; therefore, the learning environment is easy to focus in and stay engaged. I am currently working with the administration to better our academic system pertaining to weighted (honors) classes. I would like to better this system for students in the future.

Ever since Michelle Obama stuck her nose in our business, our lunches have been terrible. My freshman year was wonderful compared to my sophomore thru senior years.
