This school thrives to challenge you at there most and everyone on staff are all outstanding teachers. If I had to pick a school to go to when I was entering as a freshmen in my high school year I would pick Blue Mountain. Not only do we have a high variety of intelligent and athletic students but our school is always up for a challenge and teaches us more then we have to know so we get the full knowledge.
