I started at Orchard View Schools in 4th grade. After my mom's death. The schools are ran very well and teachers are great. I have had the best experience at their schools in their highschool. I have made many friends and have done a lot of things that made me happy I attend their schools. As my senior year comes to an end I am going to miss my school. "Once a cardinal always a cardinal."
