Modoc High School is a great school. It has a great community. The teachers are amazing, they all do their best to help the students and to make sure they are doing alright. Though, since its a small school, the school lacks proper funding. The technology in the computer lab is old, the food isnt the best and events can be pretty underwhelming.

My time at Modoc High School was very interesting. Having attended thirteen years of school with the same forty peers allowed students to bond, but also hold grudges and treat each other with extreme hostility. I am 'liberally minded', for lack of a better term, and often felt that my opinions were disregarded and disrespected by fellow classmates and sometimes teachers.

Coming into Modoc High School I was a very shy and timid freshman. I struggled with public speaking and general communication. This all changed when I got the chance to join the Alturas FFA and connect with those around me. I found unlikely friends and came out of my shell. In the past few years I have participated in the FFA, sports, choir, and so many other activities I never would have had the opportunity to without the support of my friends, family, and Modoc High School teachers.

10/10 would go again so long as I had to! This spreadsheet is great, but it does not talk about how all of these teachers come together to genuinely care about all of the kids well being inside and outside of the school, it does not talk about the elective courses taught by the big dog himself Rodne...
