My son went from attending a school in California with 2800 students to Cobre High and he loves it. The kids were very friendly and welcoming. He also joined the Varsity Football team and could not beleive just how welcoming they were to him, he never expected it. I also give credit to the parents in the community in which raised their boys with respect!
