This school has all the resources you need to be successful. The environment is so welcoming and all the teachers are just fantastic and so good at their jobs! You have all the classes you could ever possibly need, and with their extracurricular programs and partnership with the technical college, you are sure to have the best high school experience here.
The teachers and staff are very friendly and supportive! I have enjoyed taking a wide variety of classes, from AP computer sciences classes, music classes, cooking classes, and more! I feel like I have learned a lot and will take many lessons I have learned with me into the real world.
Most teachers care about your success and will help if asked. They have classes that prepare you for life outside of school. They also have lots of business classes, whether starting a business or public speaking and business etiquette. Most teachers care about you personally, and will stretch if told about problems occurring outside, or inside, of the building. They support people playing sports and are very accommodating to students. Most people care about their students greatly. Some teachers are not very good at teaching, but have a good heart.
