(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I think the school and community are wonderful. The school is a lot smaller now due to annexation of coldwater, but that's just how it is. It doesn't change how proud and strong we are as a community. The teachers, parents, and leaders are involved as well as the students themselves. Coach Smith is instilling some confidence back into our football team and our athletic program as a whole. I proudly tell people that I am and always will be a Wellborn Panther.
