I enjoyed my experience at Havana High School although there are no AP classes. The administrative staff could have done some things differently.

A teacher Erika Foster and her husband Phil who is the vice president are BULLIES to any child who is different and they are very blatant about it and have gotten away with it for years. They both need to be removed from their positions teachers should not be allowed to bully its against the law!!
