I am grateful to attend this school and be apart of it community. The teachers work hard to have good connections with the student to push them to success. They always want the best for their students. The principal is very involved with the student even helping them stay out of trouble. The school offers many activities, clubs and sports. They even allow you to make a club if they don't have it.

The worst part is probably the food but it's not all bad. Some of the food is actually great. I would love to see change in the cafeteria food and the phone policy.
