Steve Garvey Junior High School
this is an awesome school=). Yes it's in a 'bad town' but this is where you find true friends that are with you to the end! The teachers actually care about the students, not like in other schools. they talk to the students and get to know them and teach in a way that they can all understand. In other words in a fun way. =)
