Great school.

This school is pretty basic. Their sports teams are very talented and fair in my opinion. The students here are mostly respectful. The teachers and students form very good bonds and can easily get along. They offer a lot of different electives from Photography to Weight Training. Overall this is a great school.
2 1/10/2012
This school is a disgrace. The principal,the basketball coach, and all of his assistants should resign immediately. It is clear that fair play, respect for others, and basic human decency are NOT values that are instilled at this high school.
