I disagree with the prior statement that this school is only about football. Volley ball track and soccer matter just as much to us, the students. We have excelent school spirit, and teachers. But I have seen 4 fights involving at least four students since the beginnig of the year.

As for sports, only football matters; the coaches of the other sports are assistant football coaches just killing time until football season rolls around. On a positive note, the fine arts teachers do a marvelous job, despite poor financial support. Read less

My daughter is a junior and in the band. Freshman year it was great but since Mr. Musser retired it isn't doing as well. Student involvement is down as well. Football is this school's big thing and unfortunately everything else takes second place. It's very over crowded. I don't even think they have
