Why should a student want to attend Silver Creek High school?

The SCLA leadership program is awesome. I learned so much about public speaking, being a leader, and many other skills that will be useful after graduation. The teachers are all very great and really want the best for their students. Every teacher I had was willing to work with any student that wanted more help.
