Hill-Gustat Middle School
Theresa: I Think that the teachers and staff are wonderful. lets not blame the school when the Parents should be involved too. My children are doing great in this school and we move here from a top school in our home state. I know the principal and the guidance councilor and they work hard to help all the kids. You don't know what goes on behind the closed doors.
