I never got the chance to go to high school and ill probably never get a prom or any of those things. It bothered me before but since I've gone to options if I could redo it I wouldnt change a thing. I love everything about that school and i brag about it all the time.If you ask me options is the place to be,I love it and I'm glad things turned out the way they did. I dont think i could have gotten a better "high school" experience than this one. The size of the school, the students, and the teachers are all perfect. I love the enviroment. Everyone is down to Earth .....it makes me feel like its my second family =P

thank you
