I have had two children who have attended this school and I think the faculty and principal are the greatest. Mrs Moses, the principal, could probably name every child in this school by name. My children have done well here and the principal and staff are committed to creating and evironment that is safe for the children and c one in which they can learn and respect one another. The music department does an awesome job with the children. The concerts are so well put together which is about 40 percent the children and 60 percent the music teachers Mr. Filan and Mr Hagen.
