Many get the impression that a small school fosters a lesser social environment; however, this is the farthest thing from the truth for Crystal. When I came to Crystal, I was astounded by how fast I had built strong and deep relationships with my classmates. Also, despite being only 85 kids in my grade, the diversity within it is astounding in backgrounds and interests. Every person is so excited, and I am inspired by my peers every day. Another great thing about the small Crystal community is how interconnected the grades are. I have incredibly close friends who are seniors. That is unheard of anywhere else. This interconnectivity allows me to learn much from my friends in other grades. These things were evident when I toured campus for the first time. The guides had to do little to impress me. The school spoke for itself. There is something about Crystal that just made me smile.
