The staff at this school is very unprofessional. The lady at the front desk talks about other parents with staff even in front of other parents. I caught one of the staff members talking about me when I walked out the office. This is Keenan high school and everyone should hold them accountable when it comes to being professional at all times. Some of my school mate kids attend this school and they hate it as well. I will make sure they give this unprofessional school a review. It's time to do better for the parents and students whom attend KEENAN HIGH. ITS UNFORTUNATE PARENTS HAVE TO DEAL WITH UNPROFESSIONALISM AT A SO CALL SUPPOSE TO BE PROFESSIONAL FACILITY. When it comes down to students and parents we should not have to turn our back then find out staff is having a whole negative conversation about you to another staff. ITS SUCH A DISGRACE. These people are here creating a pay check and no one is monitoring staff their conversation nor their actions. Something needs to be done quickly. They see each other everyday build relationship with each other and when it's time to tell another staff member hey that's not professional we should not be having negative conversations about parents or student instead they join the conversation. Something needs to be done about this ASAP. Keenan high staff especially front offices need to to be stopped by all means necessary. HATE IT HERE
