I'm a former student, the academic program, the teachers and the facilities are the greatest. They have a large selection of extracurricular activities; I love all the teachers, staff, and everything else about it. If I had a time machine, I would go back in time just so I could go back and see my favorite school. I miss going to Aaron Parker.
