This school is not fair with any of the students one bit. They try to ban the parents involvement in anything that they can. The teacher edwil Baldwin talks down to everyone he speaks to, being parents, students etc. He talks in this deep voice constantly.
2 10/10/2025
There is is no football or wrestling in this school and there has been people willing to put wrestling and football and archery and have parents take care of it but that school wants nothing to do with it.
