This school is full of spirit! The people are lively and there’s always something going on. Depending on the teacher you have the courses are rigorous but manageable. Tutoring is always available and many teachers go out of their way to accommodate students. The school is small and the halls can sometimes fill cramped but that’s small town high school for you.
