What people are saying

Wednesday, February 20, 2019

During a basketball game, the teachers and faculty were caught on camera calling an opposing player the N word. The person recording them was escorted out by an armed security guard. Close Quote

Tuesday, January 15, 2019

The power hungry administration in this school is horribly selfish. The rules in the school are not based on what is actually necessary for the students but what the admin feels like enforcing. The powers from above make the teachers job so difficult with the treatment and regulations they push on them that it increasingly reflects on the students. Rather than actually talking about the problem if something is reported they take the situation one sided and play petty games... The school should honestly completely redo the board of Ed and the admin because this school has taught me nothing but what a jail would be like. Close Quote
