My best part of imagine prep surprise is the great friends I've made throughout the years. Knowing that ill enter adulthood with them after I graduate is something i look foward to after I've grown with them in the times that I've attended the prep. My worst moments were when I was harsh on myself due to academics and preformed however I've had amazing teachers to help.

It wasn't my choice to go there my parents made me go. I was at Imagine Prep for 6th-12th grade and I made great friends while there but if I could go back in time to go to a different highschool I most certainly would.

I started here in my sophomore year of high school and I was facing some major mental health struggles, but the teachers there have been so supportive and comforting, and Principal Hattley has been very helpful and understanding with my situation. I am now a senior in High School to graduate in May 2024 and I am very happy with my education and experience at this school.

I have never had a problem at this school. In the past, the Prep had its pros and cons, the cons being the heavier set party at that time. Now, the Prep has moved towards revolutionizing the Charter experience and still providing that quality education to students. I started going to the Prep in 8th...
