Was able to get college credit which really helped me. I was involved in sports through my whole high school career and received letter awards.

There were so many problems from weekly fights that were physical to non stop bullying to students begging their parents to switch schools. I attend wha for six years and the last month I was there I did not feel safe whatsoever. There have been teachers fired for taking inappropriate pictures of girls with out their knowledge during school. There was a student who reenacted what happened to George Floyd in the bathroom to another student. I will never send my child here or would ever recommend for anyone. I tried out every sport and ended up quitting every single one due to the coach's and teammates. They would never ever let the newer kids in the sport play even for practice.

The staff is set in the status quo and will rarely make adaptations to their curriculum. This school does no...

The school needs work in the disciplinary field as well as the type of teachers. Education wise is overall good, offers advance placement and CIHS classes, but needs to work out a few kinks.
