It's a great school with many opportunities to grow and learn. The actual building is nice and small, and the student body is also great.

It is small enough to feel like family and large enough to offer a variety of experiences related to academics and extra-curricular activities.

This is the best school ever.Everybody is cool and there are people who are messy .The teachers are determined to teach those who want to learn.The ones who don't wan to learn are brought to detention for the day.There are people that lead you in the right direction and the wrong direction.
