"i think Hoover high is a good school. i especially love how there putting their foot down and trying to control the students in a positive way. for example, the tarty swipe, i don't see students running around in the halls, ditching class, i hear nothing its quiet. i love it and i am a senior here and i am impressed on what our school has become. Hoover pates!!!!!!!!!2010"
