7/27/2025
I enjoyed my dual credit and AP classes because they challenged me and connected me with peers. I did not like school culture or the bathrooms. Our school really needs to solve the vaping problem and not the supposed phone problem.
7/7/2025
The staff and students each put in work to allow success and create a learning environment for everyone involved. The many extracurricular options at the school allow for a wide range of learning and exploration of outside fields.
6/18/2025
The college advisors should interact with us more in 9th grade so that we understand what is needed for college. I wish I had more opportunities to get mentorship or advice on how to apply for college. I am also only now realizing how expensive college is. I feel overwhelmed about how I can afford to go.
