I am a recent grade currently pursuing my bachelor's in social work. My major requires a lot of writing, but I was fully prepared for college writing thanks to the English department.

Great community of loving families and faculty. Grateful to be a part of this gem of an organization. Principal Carrie Smith is the heart of the elementary level, pumping positively and truth into her staff and students. You can feel a sense of security and belonging as soon as you walk through the doors.
