This past year has been a wonderful experience for my children. Our new President, Krista Anderson and Vice-President, Deb Roets, have been very involved in not only the day to day activities, but also in taking the time out of their personal life to attend most academic, sporting, and musical events.

Very disappointed in the 'curve' grading given by the teachers. They are setting our kids up for failure with grading curves like these. I understand the teachers have quotas they need to meet but it shouldn't be at the expense of our children. I have a student who works hard to be a B to a C student.
