Sophomore year I switched schools from Clay City to Richland County and the change was huge. The teachers genuinely care about the student and seem to really enjoy their job. The school is very put together and offers so many classes I wouldn't of been able to take at my previous school. I'm very glad I was able to change to this school.

I love how it is such a friendly environment and all the teachers make sure that you are doing well in your classes. I would like to see all the kids get along better.
