I went to Garveys from fifth grade through eighth grade graduation, and then continue my education at Taft high school My experience is Garvey was very good. I made special friends that I've had even up to this date. The teachers were for the most part, attentive, and taught their students appropriately I was wondering if there was anyway there was a registry book for my year I went there. Well I graduated in 1966 a ledger of students such as a yearbook that I could look up some old friends and if anyone reads this to my dear friend from school all the way up to now just passed away. Her name is Sandie Olsen.

Since this new principal was assigned the ranking went nothing but down. YES Garvy was a top school before, but now it’s...

Not only do they have the young kids watch the younger ones they also yell and demand them to do things with lack of respect. This school is n...
