(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I used to go to school here. I can honestly say without making things up that this is where the happiest times of my youth occured. I made a lot of friends and the teachers here taught me a lot of interesting values. I miss this school dearly and all the teachers. My personal favorite teagher would be Mrs. Luken. She helped me get through all the rough patches. The teachers here a wonderful, the classes are simple yet you still need to pay attention. I greatly appreciate the staff for all their support during my years at Shady Spring.
