I am a former and founding student of this high school. In all honesty, I can say that this school experience in every aspect was a great experience. The teachers were truly amazing and helped aid me to my future goals accordingly and with the best support.

The best part about the school that they have really good academic programs. We have a lot of honors and AP classes teachers care about the students. the worst part about the school is that we have a lot of students coming in school with vapes and drugs, which they take during the school day.

The time it does work you can easily say "its your belt" and they will let it slide.Feel like anyone can just come in with a weapon. There is only way to can enter in i...
