I was part of the first graduating class of this school in 1972. I can't believe so many years have gone by but at the same time I feel sad that the school is not performing as well as it did when we graduated (all 41 of us). Out of that class 3 became engineers, a number became professionals in the field of medicine and others became business people. To achieve that required a strong math background as well as literacy, it is sad to see achievements of < 5% in math and less than 50% in literacy. Not everyone was successful, but we were better than the current crop of students. It is sad. We also had a lot of fun and comradery perhaps because we were the first.
