Great school. Many nice people. Some people who did not follow rules to make the school a safe place to learn and feel secure have been angry and started nasty rumors. All a bunch of bull. Photoshopped pictures and started making untrue statements. To all my Hispanic friends, why did you not speak up while attending? Our culture calls for respect and honesty. Love the school and if you can be an upstanding citizen, this is your place to be.
