I love going to Morrison! I'm an 8th grader there and I wish I didn't have to leave. The teachers are great! They work with you on anything you need help with and they really care about you as a person not just as a student. The programs offered (basketball, cheerleading, beta club, drama club...etc.) are outstanding. My 8th grade class has learned respect for people above and under them. Also, we've learned skills that we'll never forget. I'm proud to be an Eagle!
