This school has been in our family for a long time begining with my husband right on through our three daughters. It is a small school, average graduating class number 75, which has made it able to accomplish close communication with parents and students. They keep up with all new learning, studying skills in academics, check up on teachers yearly, or sooner if there are complaints. Conseqently, they have great teachers, counselors, coaches, school board members, principals, ect., all good leaders for our children We love our school
