I find that this one of the best schools in the city. They have so much to offer as far as academics and shops. They prepare their student for life outside of school. The principal for the most part is fair and will listen to any problem a student or parent might have with the courses or a teacher. But I do find that is some cases parents are not encouraged to particapate in extra after school activties. I know is up to the school principal to decide what is best for their school,but parent involvment is a major part of your and other children's development in this or any other school. I as a parent of a former student I still stay involved with this school and the cheerleading squad,and I hope to do so for years to come if allowed. This is a really good school,everyone keep up the good work. Producing and shaping young adults is all our jobs, Thank you!!
