fun and intresting. we really learn a lot from the teachers. spirit weeks are awesome, the themes are so creative. all the athletics at the school are funded very well and are trained by the best of the best. we might not always win but it's so fun to hang out with friends. i love the student teacher environment because the teachers want to be your friend and they are so cool to hang out with once you establish trust between eachother.
