I love this school. It had such a welcoming environment and I absolutely ADORE the teachers that are there. They always make sure I understand the material and to me, they're 100% my role models. I aspire to be like them. I feel as though I belong in the school due to its welcoming environment and our mission statement of "Choose to Include."
