I am thankful that I go to this school. The best parts of my experience have been being able to be with my friends and being in musicals and singing. If I could change anything about the school, it would be that they would give more funding and attention to the classes relating around music. For example, in theatre, we are having to share microphones because we don't have enough to go around. It shouldn't be that way.

The school is dirt poor. I enjoy going there. The teachers are a mixed bag but the good ones make you love learning and it's obvious to see that they care about their students. It seems like most of the funding is poured into sports and overlook other things like the music, theatre, and art departments. The school could always be better but all in all I've enjoyed the time I've spent there.

I enjoy the small population of students, and the scenery around the school. I would like to see the lunch quality change.
