Nobody gives a fuck there. Not the teachers, the deans the students, except the ROTC program(best in the county), they're sooo try hard, you would think they training for war. The bitches there act hard and all the boys swear they cute. If you not a athlete or doing some kind of sport in gateway and your a boy then most likely you wanna be a wack ass sound cloud rapper. Don’t come to this school.
