We have created many opportunities for our jr hi students from a Drama program, sports program, leadership opportunities, and much more. It just means teachers have to be willing to put in extra time for these programs. Our students scored well on the old STAR test with our scores one of the top in the valley. We prepare our students for their academics and our students are very successful in high school.
