A student named had been repeatedly reported as having over 95% average at this high school in 2016-2017 school year. This remarkable achievement deserves to be mentioned in this Misplaced Pages page. There's also a teacher named Box at this school. Heard that he is quite good.
A teacher named Walker is also at this school. She is sarcastic but awesome.
Visitors are advised to avoid the library -- people studying there are being annoyed enough as it is.
