What makes your high school unique?

Something unique about my high school is the assortment of AP and higher level learning courses as well as the aid that students can get from other members of the school, whether it be from counselors, teachers, or peers. If you are struggling with a course, there are so many resources that you can tap into for help. With such a variety of classes you can explore many different courses and see what really sparks your interest, perhaps even for a future career.
