You know everyone and everyone knows you it is a very close knit community which is great to have. You can play sports if you want to it is not like the big schools where you have to try out and have a possibility of never playing.

Lots of opportunities for such a small school. You can be involved in many different activities.

Everybody at the school is involved in so much. There can be peer pressure, but not like others talk about in their high schools. Since it is a small rural school, there is not much exposure to different races, making it somewhat difficult for new comers. The same goes for sexual orientation, they are not readily accepted.
