What makes this school great, is that it takes its students and encourages them to want to be a little bit better with their future providing them with the tools and knowledge they would need in their post-secondary life. Creating wonderful minds and outgoing students, this school also celebrates their student's accomplishments very well and likes to recognize each ethnic group during heritage month where we gather students for special showcases made by the students. In the 4 years I' 've been to this school, I can say that this school has helped me wanna chase my dreams of becoming an African American Woman of Science, in STEM.
