I have been in this school for all three years. I really loved all the activities, such as Outdoor Education, 7th Grade Musical, Field Trip, and more. There are so many activities, clubs, and fun stuff to do! The teachers are really nice and helpful. All the facilities are nice and lots of sports too. They teach the necessary skills that kids need to used to succeed in life. I hope to enjoy the rest of my last year here and hope all the best for all the kids going there, and those in younger grades!
