All 4 of my children graduated from this school and I'm proud to now have my granddaughter starting in September. She will be able to experience an excellent school environment like her dad. Mr. Pantelidis is an excellent Principal. He is constantly finding ways to better the classrooms, learning experiences, communication with teachers as well as finding new programs to implement. Every time he applies for funding to update or add to the labs and classrooms he gets it. The grades of all students speak for themselves. And he never stops. When one project is done and approved he is already working on the next. I just want to say thank you Mr. Pantelidis for all that you have done and continue to do. Thank you for not stopping the care and interest once the kids graduate. He continues to keep up with the success and journeys of these kids well into Adulthood. This is the great care and interest he has in our kids and our future!! I wish every school had a Principal who cares as much as you do. THANK YOU! Close Quote

Main staff speak words and do nothing correctly to help children having issues. they want to sweep it under the rug so that NO one messes with the schools score. I hope I can convince at least one person about this school becasue i do not want another child to go through what we went through with bullying.The principle tells lies to other admins, in my case he denyed that my child got kicked and punched at school even though medical records show otherwise. They are more focused on students that score well so they can get the grant money. Close Quote
