I'm glad I got to attend this school, it's full of staff that pushes kids towards success and everyone strives to do great things!!! Sadly this was my last year but I will never forget the unconditional support my teachers gave me and how well they prepared me for college. This school will never make me forget that "It's always a great day to be a Wolverine."

AMAZING high school. Best kept secret in the county. It's sad because this school gets put down when being compared to other parts of the county, but the teachers work so hard to help the students. My son loves it and wouldn't go anywhere else. The principal is rough and needs to respect the teacher...
