During my experience in this school, I have grown to enjoy my high school experience. Aside from having great academic programs such as AP and IB, the school has good opportunities in sports.

When I went to school I had a blast being a teenager with no responsibilities and being able to make a lot of friends that I would hang out with and become lifelong friends with. The teachers were great, well mostly all of them, there were a few that weren't the best but the best of them did make up for them
