Monday, October 5, 2009

This school is an epic fail. The curriculum is bad the teachers are way to hung on themselves except Mathern Mellott, Jon Wegman, Sharon Weller, and Gary Mcgee. This is my opinion of the school, but I'm not saying anything to Put down anyone or piss anyone off. But I think the school is poorly maintained and has a bad staff for the most part. Close Quote
