Home of the Cardinals, the school has a student-run and student-produced newspaper and a library center with media, research and technology resources. Tutoring options, after-school care programs and school counselors are also available.

I loved it here. Honestly, I met most of my lifetime friends here rather than in high school. Everyone got along for the most part. The teachers were all memorable and actually cared about their students.

Some teachers taught too fast and we didn't really learn anything but still had fun in there. Some kids claimed the teachers weren't teaching and was just complaining all day long about the class.
