Though it's a small school, and pretty underfunded, my experience with my teachers was extremely valuable. They all truly care about their students and want the best for them. It honestly feels like being a part of a family over there because of the interactions you have with your peers and the staff. Most people truly want others to be their best. Of course, not every student is favorable, and more should be done to keep people accountable. Some students can just get away with whatever because they are charismatic or do well at sports. I don't believe the staff does it intentionally, but I believe they could do more to keep everyone accountable for what they do. Additionally, more should be done to get everyone involved, which I know is a challenging feat, to try to get everyone to work together toward the same goal, but I believe it will be beneficial for our area, especially since it is a very poor, underdeveloped area. Despite all this though, I feel very safe and supported here.

It is a nice school; however I feel as if the faculty is more focused on football then education, except for the teachers.

I love my high school. The teachers there have helped me so much with everything that I've done. The reason that I'm still willing to learn is due to the fact of they've helped me straighten my path of interest. They've taught me lessons that I believe no other school could.
