School Reviews
| 5 I went to this school in 1990-1991. I got my high school diploma, and an intro to data processing. Now, I am further my education for my bachelor program at ASU for CIS, computer information system. I learned leadership skills, which helped me to be a supervisor for 8 years. - Posted by Student/Alumni - ayfos |
