Great school, loved my time there as a student. Awesome teachers who actually care. It not only taught me material from subjects, but also taught me to work independently and smart, as well as manage my time

Came here to watch a good game of high school football, Great football atmosphere, the one thing that bugged me was the dirty upper seats. I would enjoy it more if they updated the stadium a bit with cleaning, the only flaw i found was someone spilled mustard on my seat and it wasn't cleaned. either way, great place to take your kids on a football night.
