Loved the teachers and my football coaches and teammates. Life long memories Football taught me life lessons. Worst part is the strict dress code. I understand why we have one.

Great school! Wonderful atmosphere. My son became much happier here after the public school. BUT, big disappointment - biology teacher. If you are interested in biology - consider other options.
