My school is most known for it's basketball team and it's art program. We are the number one public school of the arts, and our basketball team has gathered a strong following over the past few years. It makes me proud to be a school with a strong team, and it helps to bring unity to a school that would be fairly disconnected due to the city location otherwise.
