As much I love this school it's missing so many things. Our buildings are very old and when it rains a lot it leaks everywhere. I would like for the school to renovate the buldings.

I love the experience of being able to advance in academics by being able to do both ap classes and college classes. I would like to see more focus on other career centered curriculums like business, computer classes, and teaching.

The environment is welcoming and as a student-athlete the coaches are very motivating about our grades and maintains our education in check. Not only is the school sports mediated but the clubs and school activities have maintained traditions and have created a successful highs school experience.
