The teachers are great at this school. They are always looking to help where they can, and they give their all to teach. I don't know what more a lot of them could do. They incorporate technology and giving interesting lessons. Many of the teachers look out for student wellness and always try to get student opinions on their teaching. Normally, the teachers will take the opinions and try to improve on their teaching techniques. I have appreciated the staff at this school, and I hope many more will as well.
