My worst experience would have to be being a small school, we kind of get overlooked and prioritize lower on the list of needs. I would like to see my school expand the realm of learning and challenge students to be better prepared for college

This school has wonderful academics and athletics for a school of its size. It has the experiences and size of a private school, but it is in the public school system. The people are amazing and I love them.
