I think that the sports side of this school is very outgoing and welcoming. I have never done the arts or music side but we do have a really good band that is really well ranked in the state. I think the students enjoy coming to the school at feel as safe as a school can feel. I feel like there is a lot of participation in various activities which is always a good thing.
