I'll tell you what we need at Terry.Students with a resilient, undying, and selfless character Praying parents and staff Somebody who's willing to stand up and break the old Student with a big mouth who are willing to fight for what is right Somebody who just wants a different experience Terry isn't made for the weak...students who are their own personalities and students with great integrity are the ones we need at Terry. Send ''em over we're to change culture.
