There are many fun events. Like the color bash where people run and get colors thrown at them or the competitions in the auditorium between grades. There are also many opportunities to get educated in the college experience and learn how to apply.

Overall, I had a good experience. I like the amount of dedication that the teachers have towards helping students. This school offered not only AP classes, but an opportunity to gain an Associate's Degree. One thing I would like to see change is more sessions to talk to the students about the college admission process and more specific details such as cost and scholarship opportunities.
