There was just so much pointless drama going on, there were very few higher education courses (AP, Dual Credit, etc.) However I made a lot of friends there and participated in every sport i could and the food was great

I personally participate in the majority of the clubs and organizations in my school. I wish our school had some more, though, for certain possible career interested such as FBLA. Sometimes I feel as if the students not involved in the clubs and organizations think they are a big joke. I wish everyone would take them more seriously.

I love all the teachers at this school, but almost everything else i have a hard time understanding. The two stars I am giving is from the teachers alone.
