I would like to see more safety precautions and more opportunities for the students. Other than that the high school was a good school and had good teachers.

I have been involved with my high school for three consecutive years, this being my fourth. I volunteered my time and effort with FFA as an officer, Basketball player on the varsity team, NHS/SCA/FCCLA member, and so much more. Outside of school I work as a horse trainer from home and a vet assistant.

I have attended this school for three years now, and it doesn't suck as bad as people think. It's not cliquey and I don't really see bullying. Mr. Guempel is da bomb! He's totally awesome and did great things for this school. Almost all of the students here like and respect him, we are sad he left....
