  • i am a student at truman middle school and i love this school because it is a very clean school and also because they have a lot of sports you can choose to be in which are Volleyball (7th and 8th girls) Cheer leading (7th and 8th grade girls) and basketball (8th grade bos and Girls)
    Cross Country (7 and 8th grade boys and girls)
    and that is all i can think of but overall the teachers are very good and they make sure you're on task at all times and they also keep their classrooms in very good shape!
