This school is wonderful. I was a young mother who was determined to finish school with my graduating class. By going to Joe Foss, I was able to accomplish my goal. The school provides young parents with a daycare so the parents can attend classes and graduate highschool. Without Joe Foss, it might have taken me longer to finish highschool, but thanks to the opportunities provided to me by Joe Foss, I was able to finish two months earlier than my fellow classmates.
