Carlsbad High School
2
Devon McCann: Well in my honest opinion, the school has some intresting history to it, it is actually haunted in one of the classrooms that I was a T.A. for. The school does have some bias in afew groups, including the minorities, the school is way behind in restoration, which should of been done years ago, honestly that school could do a better job.
