I used attend school at Keaau Hight in Hawai'i. When I moved to Seirra Vista High it was a different setting that i wasn't used to. It was difficult for me to adapt and finding new people who have the same interests as me. Now I been at SVHS for 4 months now and now i'm doing better than I was when I first moved.

Sierra Vista is a great learning environment that gets the job done. I have always felt safe at the school and never worried about my health and safety. Also, the basketball program is great.
