Graduated from here in 1993. Wasn't very involved until my senior year but, the staff were great in helping me with getting ready for life after high school.

It is a public high school that provides students with a great education and readiness for there future career paths. During a students for years there they have multiple extracurricular options. Students are also heavily supported by staff on their career choices. One of the worst parts was having to eat the same food every once in a while. I would like to see a change to their lunch menu so that students can have a variety of good foods to choose from.
5/2/2024
Amazing staff and teachers who try their best to help students, the problem is this school is criminally underfunded and lacks the resources to adequately prepare students for college.
