i went to high school and at first it was rough, with it being a brand new school with no history. But after a while it got better, the people there and the community around it was nice. The principal was also some what of a pain but itÂ’s there job to enforce rules and stuff like I guess. Overall i would say yes, this school has its pros and cons but at the end of the day it was fun for all four years.
