It is a four-year public high school accredited by North Central Accrediting Association (NCA) and runs on a 50 minute, seven-period, two-semester schedule. The staff of 77 teachers, four guidance counselors, four administrators, one school sociologist, one school psychologist, and 43 support staff serve approximately 1200 students.
