It was cool to come back to my old stomping grounds and see a high school play here. My son went…read morehere too so there's a history. This isn't a very modern or well designed high school. Walking in the front doors of the auditorium, you are met with stairs... strange layout. The foyer is small and the hallway is narrow. Trying to get into the auditorium created quite a bottleneck. I recently went to a newly constructed high school and the foyer/common area was huge and spacious. Here I felt like I was in a corral. The auditorium needs a facelift. Are these the same chairs that were here when I attended? The front of the school is landscaped ok, with an arbor and some benches etc. The restrooms in the front hall could use a tidy and remodel. Now for the play/drama team. We saw Beauty and the Beast. It was sweet, a typical high school play. Most of the characters didn't really stand out, and many were miscast, with the exception of Belle, who had a lovely voice and fit the character. As mentioned, I've been to another high school which did a production of this play and it was like a Broadway Show! I know, I know, they're kids, and I shouldn't compare, but the drama teacher could kick it up a notch. The costumes didn't do the play justice. However, the one thing that made this play stand out was the live orchestra! Well done, Mr. Blankenship! My hubby (a musician) and I were totally impressed with the band, the music and the execution of the score. After the play, we could barely move, tables selling headshots, candy, flowers etc. were lost in a sea of people. They would do better sales if they extended the sales tables down the galley hallway. In any event, this was for a good cause, it was a cute high school production that provided some light entertainment on a Thursday night! Maybe catch the weekend shows!! That's my story and I'm sticking to it... you've been schooled!

First off, this entire experience was a popularity contest from the start. Basically if you weren't…read morea cheerleader, on the football team, or in the leadership center, you were nothing and you were a nobody. I was picked on and bullied all the time here. When I wasn't picked on here, I was picked on at work since I worked with some people I went to school with. My freshman and senior years here were the absolute worst. I had to make all new friends because there was a rumor going around school my freshman year that some people were calling me gay and that is absolutely not true. My senior year (2010) you cannot even imagine. Every single one of our sports programs was complete garbage. Yes, even track; the sport I was involved with... and our track team is usually amazing, but not my senior year. Our indoor AND outdoor district and regional title streaks were broken by our biggest rival, Godwin High. Also, I loved the majority of the people on the track team, but there were a select few that were so cocky, condescending, and downright rude to me for absolutely no reason. Oh and get this, when my senior prom was nearing, I asked 4 different girls out and they all said they probably won't go. My stupid self believed them. The reality was they all went...WITH DATES! One even went with her boyfriend even though her relationship status on Facebook clearly stated "single". Why they didn't simply tell me they were going with someone else already was beyond me. Needless to say I went to my senior prom without a date. Also, my last track race of my high school career ended in a disqualification for handing off the baton outside of the exchange zone. Right after that meet when I got home, still feeling awful after the DQ our relay team received, I found out a girl who said she "loved me" and I loved her just started dating a guy on the track team who was the most rude and cocky to me out of all of them, and she knew it. I really do not miss this place. The people here were so rude and mean to me that I can't even describe some of the stuff to you. These were only a FEW of the stories. This place also drained all of my self-confidence to the point where I don't feel confident in myself to complete even the simplest of things and tasks or to ask anyone out anymore. What's really sad is this place made me think I was ugly as a person. I don't think I am that great looking of a person because of my experiences here. Oh, and do you seriously think that "no" is the worst someone can say to you when you ask them out? Well, apparently you haven't gotten answers such as "Why?", "What for?", and the one that hurt the most "Gross.". Don't get me wrong, I did have some really great memories here. I really did, which is why this is getting 3 stars, but it is so unfortunate that the bad outweighed the good. I still harp on some of the things that happened here because it somewhat gave me some anxiety. One huge plus though was that we were the first senior class to ever beat the faculty in the senior vs faculty basketball game which I was a part of. Even though I didn't have a great time here, I will gladly say our motto with the utmost pride "Once a rebel, always a rebel.".

But they fell short at the end. You would think, one would enter in the front of the school to attend the basketball game. But there was another entrance about a mile around the school where we needed to enter. Instead of walking in the cold, we drove around to bus ramp area and this is where the gym is located. The gym here is pretty large it definitely accommodated the large crowd on a weeknight... Varina vs Kings Fork... a rematch from last year. The Bulldogs fell short again! I am not sure if the concession stand was open because when we arrived it wasn't. As a result, minus one star. If the stand did open, they must not have offered a lot because I did not see one nacho, one hotdog... nothing... bummed! Plenty of parking. Check it out if you are in the area. It's massive. Have fun and enjoy life :)

It's the most affordable fully-accredited (VAIS) school in Richmond. It offers all of the academics (including Spanish starting in kindergarten) as well as a diverse range of extra-curricular classes and activities. Perhaps most importantly, there is a maximum class size of fifteen. The average class size is ten, the ideal for maximizing individual attention.

Unfortunately, my daughter had never played Minecraft and isn't super interested in video games so we had a little bit of a struggle. Thank goodness I didn't drop off so I could encourage and help her. The experience was cool for the kids that love video games. They projected the game onto the wall so the instructor could explain each step before he let them proceed to each phase. It is a very organized activity. After we ate pizza, the kids were allowed to free play with some cars going down a track and using some toys to construct things. (I admit, I'm a girl mom so I'm not super familiar with the terms for "construction toys"-HA!). Our instructor had a little difficult time keeping up with the amount of kids playing Minecraft so a second assistant would have been better. He also did scold me for taking over the computer to help my daughter, rightfully reminding me she wouldn't learn if I didn't let her do it herself. True but OUCH. I would still recommend this place for kids that love technical types of things. Definitely a cool alternative to bouncy houses.
