I am absolutly outraged with how the school is suppose to be diversed & yet the children are taught to stick to their own kind. I thought as minorities we were suppose to be breaking the cycle,not encouraging it. If you ask me I think the entire staff should be forced to attend a workshop on proffesionalism and ethics.

This school is not only a magnet school it is more like a family. They help take care of their staff, students, parents and community members. They are d edicated and are there to support the growth and learning of our students.
