I love this school and the staff! I am currently a senior at WCA and I''ve been at this school since kindergarden. I''ve not only learned the school work, I''ve learned to be appriciative, recourceful, respectful, purposeful, and extremely thankful for everything and anything that comes my way in life. I truly do love the staff and friends I''ve had the pleasure to come across in my life, and I will never forget them for as long as I live (even if I wanted to).
