It was a short time from 2022 to 2024, but I made good connections with students. Though I felt it could use more diversity inclusion, I had a good time with the teachers and students.

The administration used not to be good, but we got a new principle who is awesome and has improved the school a lot. He is a lot more strict and cares a lot about the school.

I love this school because this is the pace that raised me and made me a Bulldog for life. I will never forget the countless times of me fighting for this school in sports or whatever the case might be. My academics were the best because of this school and the community it gave me is what made me today.
