I think Fort Hamilton is an excellent school. I attendend from 1996 to 2000. They have many versitile class offerings. Some of my favorites when I was there were potery and cooking classes. They also have a wonderful pool that the students get to make use of as well. I had a lot of good teachers when I was there and some of them really had an impact on my life.
