i've been to a lot of schools in my life most of them small, but when i stepped into this school i felt lost. it took me a few days to learn the ways around but i got the hang of it with a little help from my friends and the teachers.
the sports teams are very competitive i remember going to the football games and watching the cheerleaders cheer unfortunatly i was only there for a short time and i had absolutely no time to try out. of corse beacause i was in a lot of other clubs they had.
