All the teachers are experienced and helpful. It is a great place with many subjects that you will get attached too. It gets a lot of great speakers. THe environment isn't the best, its a dying town the school is trying to bring back.

The make up teachers are playing games, going home early and play favorites with students.
The career services personell are clueless. They have new ones in the position constantly which makes it confusing and hard to get honest career aid. They cannot keep people employed here because the school has a horrible reputation.
