I have some stuff about this school, I came here in 6th grade. I enjoy doing art, and I consider it a bit of a passion of mine. I was happy when I was going to go to the art ahpl, at least until I spent some time with the art teacher. CRAZY strict and to me, probably doesn''t like kids. Oh, and a fight broke out right in front of a teacher on field day. Happy I was redistricted, anyways, I had a good relationship with the teachers in my hallway.
