Yo I'm Zhuo and I'm graduating from Haines at June 12 2012 and I would say this school was awesome. It has changed my life in many different variations and I wouldn't want to leave this place, but sadly everyone has to let go of all the memories that you have. I had the best of my life in this school and I hope you're children and grandchildren come towards this great school. I've learned the greatest of knowledge from this school and my friends did as well. The teachers are respectful of your education and do everything that they can to get you into a good high school.
