Open Quote This is a great school, my children have both been very happy here. As with any school there will be those few teachers that are not great, those few students that are not nice....but that is not the norm here. Both my sons feel the school is very well rounded, students are tolerant and nice, great school spirit, good sports, teachers care, and front office is friendly and approachable. We have only run into a couple of problems with teachers and the counselors have worked with us and our kids. Teachers are there before school and during Raider Rally for extra help. Strings program is not the best, I hope it continues to grow. Marching band is very good and that is where the band director focuses much of his effort. My kids were not in Drama, but I have heard nothing but great things about it. Football does well, it is in a transition faze right now after loosing so many seniors two years ago. Boys soccer, boys LX, Cross Country, Wrestling, girls basketball, girls volleyball, and several others have gone to states as a team or individual and we have won several. There will be some changes this year as we are getting a new principal and that in not a bad thing....there are a few areas that could use some improvement. Close Quote
