I have attended school at Hot Springs School District since kindergarten. I made many long term friendships that will last a lifetime. Our school has a lot of diversity which has impacted my view of the world and how I look at people. I have been a part of the International Baccalaureate program since kindergarten as well. I feel that it has helped me to be able to colaborate well with others and to prioritize learning.

Okay school, some of the staff are questionable so watch out. Over all not a bad school although it has its quirks.
