I absolutely love my high school. The school staff is very welcoming and make the school feel like home. The teachers care about the children and their education. All of the staff do they best they can to keep the school and students as safe as possible. They also try to get involved with the students so that way there is a better connection between the students and the school. The principle gets along well with the students but also provides structure to the school and students.
