Joppatowne has been the high school ive been to for my entire high school career, and within this past year It has been extremely worrysome and unsafe. Despite the fact that nothing has necessarily happened since the murder of one of the students, it still makes me feel very unnerved and worried everytime an annoucement is made over the intercom.
