    ilovecheese replied to md5628's topic in School, College Programs

    ilovecheese replied to md5628's topic in School, College Programs

    Agreed! I remember from the open house though that the director was retiring at the end of last year and they weren’t sure who was taking over yet. I’m assuming that’s playing into why it’s...
