This is a school that loves and teaches their children. The architecture is only the framework; the real work is done in the classroom.

This school is one of the best schools in district 89. They have made AYP for the past three years and have been taken off the watch list. The students and teachers are truly dedicated to their future and the teachers visit the high school to ensure that they are preparing the students properly.

The history of the school is well known in this area. A lot of good people came out of this school.

Because after years of struggling academically it seems to be back on the right track.
