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.

Parents clearly do not understand what is happening in the internal workings of the school. When I attended, faculty failed to send us the bus information multiple times. 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...
