Testimonial
When I did the junior high program at Roy Jr. it was an amazing experience. I loved it all and it gave me a head start for what I would like to do, they give amazing offers in the program and even more opportunities at WIHS, I now attend WIHS full time and it was a amazing decision, I have a way to go on my own pace and I can go as fast as I'd like but also as slow as I'd like "but still staying on pace".
