This high school, like many others gives you a chance to be yourself and find those who best fit with your likenesses. A school full of opportunities and greatness that all kids should have for education. I enjoyed the teachers and the culture, yet not so much the involvement of the community.

I really enjoyed working with teachers who genuinely cared about my progress with my academics and set me up for success in college. they were always checking in on me and makings sure things were turned in on a timely manner as well as checking on me mentally. when I was struggling, they made sure to take extra time and cater to my needs. I felt like all the staff were a second family to me.
