I would describe myself as cheerful, creative, and curious. I am a student that spreads joy and cheer throughout both school and the house. I always like to learn and dive into the curriculum.

There also is a wide variety of courses and electives that are available to each student, including college courses that are integrated into their schedules. The many programs that were offered provided endless opportunities for a high school experience which was very appealing.
