Western High School

i love this school. the teachers are so dedicated and no matter how much they say it is ghetto, the students and teachers know otherwise. "dont judge a book by its cover". of course every school is going to have their problems, but it doesnt help that people just keep our reputation going and never report the nice things we have done, like not that long ago we donated over 300 toys to Ruth 5 ES. but does anyone care, of course not. This school is the best school i have ever been too and I've been to 6 differnt schools.
