Posted September 22, 2004

My daughter loves this school. She came from a big school where all the students are just one big group. Here she is an individual with lots of friends. She is involved in the athletics program which I think all schools should have, because it lets everyone become involved not just the stars. She has always been an A student and she still is. The only thing I wish that they would get involved in is a choir program and not just the band.
—Submitted by Charlotte Buckley, a parent
