I like to pride myself on the fact that I'm from the Capital Region. We are lucky to have such an amazing community to grow up in and be a part of. I feel even more privileged to be a part of an area that has such high standards for ourselves, which shows in the quality of our businesses as well as our school systems.

We are so used to hearing different things about our local schools and communities that we don't even think that our very own could be some of the best around. I'm not just talking locally either, I'm talking nationally.
