I really like this school to be honest. I think that this district provides a lot of opportunities to get ahead and it's pretty calm. I don't like how strict the administration can be sometimes but I know that it is for our safety sometimes.

The best thing about my high school, is the experience I've gotten from it. I have lived a life I never would have thought thanks to the friends I made along the way. It has also pushed me to try hard academically because of the STC classes that are offered. Overall, I have definitely gotten the high school experience so far.
