THIS PLACE removed! Whatever you don't send your kids here even me the assistant principal hate's it here! We only care about our sports until all other extra circular activities can go away. Also, we only care about being a grade-rated school, this shows we care more about our grades than the students! DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE PLEASE THEY WILL JUST CAUSE UP MORE TROUBLE!
