My boys go to this high school and I can only say great things about the school. The principal is very engaged and very focused on the Standard of Excellence to improve from year to year. The Advanced Placement program offerings are AWESOME! The teachers are passionate about the material and about the students mastering the material. The school has many many clubs and athletic opportunities so there is something for everyone if you choose to be involved. The school is highly ranked in the state and a great springboard for success in college. Close Quote

Great school with positive trends. Principle is very active, as opposed to most of the time kids not even knowing who their principle is. Close Quote
