Very decent school to be a part of. There are a lot of things going on. You can join a lot of sports and clubs. The staff is very helpful and easy to talk with. All they want is for you to be college ready or prepared for the road after school. The administration is very helpful. They are willing to get anything you need for you to be successful.

They are in a new building with all the things they need to achieve. They also have help in many different ways. They have free tutoring, that's wonderful in its self because we learned totally different than our kids, and im still confused on how education has changed through the years. I think they should have to take a class on bullying in every grade that they are in. I've seen it impact too many lives in all grade levels.
