This school is very sports involved and has demonstrated a lot of school spirit. The staff in this school sometimes lack enthusiasm for their job and enjoy having great authority over students. I would like to see more change in diversity as I have only just began to notice some slight attempts at including a variety of people in this public space. It is easy to tell that the structure of the school is very traditional and takes a lot of pushing for things to change. I think they should do a better job of demonstrating inclusivity for all students instead of the students that fit their mold.

I had to talk with the driver and have them radio the school to confirm the situation. Additionally, we had to fight to get mysel...

School cares more about salaries then kids, parents have to constantly fight to get information and they have denied children food if their account is low
