Over the past 3 years I have never felt out of place or unwelcomed. This school genuinely feels like a safe place where I can be myself. I have met some amazing people including teachers who have truly helped shape me to become the best version of myself. At first my freshman year I was shy and wasn't very involved but then Sophomore year came and I was on two varsity sports and a member of two clubs. This wouldn't have been possible if I didn't feel at comfortable enough to join. This school has by far felt like a second home because of the people in it.

Right now, I am just a freshman, and I can comfortably say, "I go to Saunders." It really is a great school, with so much opportunities, and the people are funny and really kind. If you are in 8th grade worrying about high school, Saunders should be your choice!
