(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Callaway is the best place to be. The current principal of Callaway, Mr. Johnson, is wonderful. When he make decisons that effects the school he often include suggestions from everyone within the school. Not only do he work with academics, but he's a firm supporter of all extra cirriculm activties in the school. I feel that when you have someone in charge that cares then the school is already a success, but when you have someone in charge that cares plus students that cares the school is superior. I feel that callaway is superior.
