Graduated class of 1978.great high school, white upper-class college-bound kids for the most part. my personal favs are the Mr. and Ms. McKenzie math teachers, Wayne Snyder history, and Mrs. Dipasquale chemistry teacher. classes were small maybe under 15. I got an excellent education and recently retired from 40 yr RN career. thank u to all dedicated and nurturing teachers. I am sorry to read by just changing demographics school went way south. it's truly a shame a great school is a very poor one now.it really breaks my heart. superior school:1975 until 1978.
