This school is wonderful! The speak program needed to be honored. They took my friends son who was in a school that was too restrictive for him in another school district and turned him into a honor role student. They gave him a chance when no one would. The special education program is outstanding the staff is wonderful. We miss this school so badly we love them!!!!
