What people are saying

by a citizen
Sunday, April 28, 2019

While the teachers are great people the administration plays office politics and does not care for its employees unless they remain completely sub servant to them. If you end up thinking for yourself and not liked then they will openly discriminate against you and even HR will choose to do nothing to help you. Close Quote
