I loved my time at Cordova High School. Everything was great from the beginning with the amazing school spirit everyone had and the safety in which the staff made me feel. But the one thing I would change about the school is making the students have more freedom.

My experience at Cordova High School has been on a rollercoaster. As more years passed by Cordova High School was more enjoyable. They seem to improve every year by working with what they have. The teachers and faculty are honestly the best part of the school. They have been very helpful as I apply to colleges and am entering my adult life.
