(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This school is doing alot better with the leadership of Principal Lillard and his staff. I often look at Principal Lillard and think of that movie Lean On Me, because he inherited a school that was bad and no one wanted, and turned it around. As a parent of 2 kids that has attended the school, i take my hat off to your Mr. Lillard, keep up the good work. You touch more people than you know....
