I loved being enrolled in this school. I came into this school In ninth grade and throughout the years watched the school grow within every category. The school's academics were good even with the struggles of the pandemic and other challenges. The teachers and staff make sure the student's voices are heard and arent ignored. Overall, it is a great school.
